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..
Sorry I've not posted for a while, trying to push it to the back of my mind I guess but its always there tapping away at your head.
Anyway, just found out it is on the move again - I finished my secound round of chemo back in June and I was really hoping for a bit longer this time but it looks like its not mean to be. Ca125 was around 10 but has gone up to 42 so waiting for scan then more chemo in January. They have mentioned another type this time - Genti something I think, I didn't quite catch the name. Does anyone know anything about it?
I know a few of you are in the treatment 'loop' and my thoughts are with you whether you are on chemo or off chemo, it is good to hear your experiences tho I always feel I've got nothing worth saying.
Sue I am sorry to hear that you are having problems again, there is a chemo called Gemcitibine but I don't know anything about it, I am sure there are others on here who will know. Seems we are forever on this treadmill, we have to have faith that 'they' know what they are doing and stay positive as hard as that it is.
I was due for bloods today but the strike stopped me going so I will try again tomorrow, then back to the hospital on the 6th for the results, I am hoping they will be clear but have felt a bit 'off' lol, could be just because I am thinking too much. Then straight on to the Lymphoedema clinic afterwards. We always seem to be in such an insecure position, always hoping for the best.
Ladies and everyone else, I hope you are all hanging in there........
Eileen I hope all went well with you today, big hugs
Jackie hope you are poodling along nicely, hoping because there aren't many posts on here that we are just dealing best we can.
thanks for your good wishes Dot, Eileen has told me a bit about the treatment. I have problems with Lymphoedema too - in my left arm, it developed after breast cancer about 15 years ago. It's quite stable now and I gave up with the sleeves long ago as they didn't seem to help me but hope they work for you. Sue
