I remember hearing that some patients feel sad when treatment finishes and thinking "No way!" But then I actually did get really sad at my last radiation treatment. I cried when I walked out, and I cried a few other times that day because it marked the end of being under the regular care of some really kind, caring people who were looking out for me. (It actually wasn't the end, because I ended up developing radiation fibrosis that sent me right back into physical therapy, but I didn't know that yet.) The feeling passed quickly. The following day, when I realized I wasn't planning my morning by working backwards from the time I needed to leave for radiation, I felt such freedom!!!
