That mental transition is a significant one but you are well prepared for it. The relief of not having to go in was surprisingly powerful for me. I thought I would kind of miss the supportive staff at the clinic but just felt liberated.

Good luck with the next two weeks. I had no chemo and less extensive rads than some but I can say that at Day 6 after treatment I woke up feeling a lot better.
