Hello

I saw this place to chat on an over 50s forum and thought it would good to join in.  I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in September.  My first chemo had to be abandoned as I had an allergic reaction on my second cycle.  I've since had a Hickman Line fitted and start my second cycle of the new chemo tomorrow.  Just hope it goes well!

  • Thank you everyone for your replies.  I’m not feeling too bad at the moment but I think the first three days on steroids helps.  When I arrived for my chemo yesterday I had good news and bad news (good news really).  I had a gene test which turned out normal (only 30% chance of this) so I had extra targeted drugs.  My normal four hours on the unit turned into six and a half hours!  Not complaining really lol!
