Topsy, hooray for drugs, even if they were a bit late. Sleepy's most definitely better than feeling sick.
Sparkle, that's brilliant about DD getting a school place too. I'd bet DS is thrilled, isn't he? Hope you're celebrating. 
Pink, big g'ah to Tax then. Glad you're through though, as at least that's the end of chemo. I'd love to say different, but Tax does seem to stick with you for a while. I was completely wiped out when I'd finished, but being honest was never sure if it was psychological as much as physical. I think you put so much into getting to the end of chemo that you can easily collapse once you're through. And now you have an operation to face too. I was the other way round, so had had my op and went straight onto Rads. All of which makes it hard to say how long Tax stays with you, as you're onto whatever's next before you've recovered. Exhaustion lasts a long while, but the aches do ease I promise. And your nails will grow back before you know it. Hair too, so look forward to that at least. By Christmas you'll be gorgeous again!
On operations, I was similar, so had my op changed from lumpectomy to mastectomy. Hth, but it was honestly nowhere near as bad as I expected. Without it you've got a better chance of no recurrence. I think that's what I tried to hold onto and it did help make it manageable somehow. Ask as many questions as you want and let us help get you through. You're doing brilliantly to be on the other side of chemo. All else now is genuinely easier!
Gentle day here today. Bit of gardening and pottering with DS, then we joined up with a friend and her son for a swim. Well when I say swim, more of a splash. Lovely day in London, so hope it is where you all are. I am plotting a feta and broad bean salad. Better go make - hadn't realised it was so late..
