I was diagnosed with Cancer in March and although we knew it was Cancer its still a shock to be told it. I have had 2 chemo cycles now and have my 3rd at the end of the month. I would love to chat about the chemo side affects to anyone..
HI ALL - Well, I had my scan yesterday and I AM IN REMISSION!!! Now, I of course am THRILLED and am sure you are ALL happy for me, however I have had a hard time posting this with the bad news...BUT, then I said to myself - If I can just let them know there is HOPE!!!! AND THERE IS - I am keeping it short as there is not more for me to say...Docotr every 3 months, my port flushed every 6 weeks - I asked for a blood test in six weeks, when port is flushed, and my nurse is more than happy to do so...that way I have a clue of where my #'s are as well as if anything is "off" - I will know then - I will still be here to offfer my prayers, my thoughts, my aches and pains, and best wishes for ALL of you....XXXXXXXOOOOOOOO - Becky
no posts from anyone, hope you are all hanging in there. I am feeling good, going to Kent today to visit my daughter and grandkids who are camping there.
My prayers are with you all
Eileen hope you are still at home and coping with the chemo.
Apologies for not posting, Dot you are doing so well, seem to have really got your act together, hope you enjoy your day out! Eileen fingers crossed your stil at home and gradually feeling better. Becky what can I say, thats the best news ever, the system in america is very different and unfortunately for us, appears to give better outcomes but hey thats the way it goes and here hoping positivity is catching!
I've been really well with this lot of chemo (sorry Eileen!), bit tired but it soon passes. Went to my retirement do on Friday, had a great time and even managed to dance (stuck to kiddie partners!!!
Can't believe its chemo time again on Fri! Noticed hair starting to come out in brush this morning, would like it to hold tight till Fri but not bothered if it don't :) .
Hosp for blood test tom, interesting to see what white cells are up to as chemo cannula site looks infected! Do wish I could have a 'port' (long line) like Becky but with my clotting its probably not a great idea, ah well can't grumble.
Hope to hear from you soon Eileen and I hope Jayne is OK, again quite a while without posting so fingers tightly crossed for her.
