Hi thanks for the reply, can you pls tell me how your getting on? they have sent a sample of the cancer to Birmingham for testing for a new drug but only 10% can take it, how does the chemo effect you?
Hello, hope your mum is feeling not to bad today xxx. I had a drug which sounds like the type your mum will be offered and i was one of the ones it did help.
Lets hope that your mum will be suitable for it too.
It stopped working for me after 2 years and now i have had some radiotherapy to my lung and hip.
Hello, that is good news x at least the start is near.....how is your mum holding up, i know that some days will be much worse than others, i used to cry alotand then other days didnt even think about having cancer at all.
Can i ask which chemo is she having? and how often?
Please tell her good luck from me.... and i am sure all of the other people who are reading this.
Keep strong yourself, i know my daughter has been an insperation for me and a reason to sqeeze every single moment out of life.
HI thank you for the reply, she is having the stronger dose in two weeks, i am going with her to the local hospital, not really sure about it all but at least they are doing something quick, might be about 4 lots of treatment then if not radio, but one stage at a time, xx
Hi whats the chemo treatment like, as i we are not sure what to expect, but i know everyone is different and everycase is different. I have read all the side effects
I have not had Chemo yet..... i had a trial tablet for 2 years as my first line of treatment. This stopped working in June and since then i have had Radiotherapy, this was on my hip and also my lung.... In October i go back and see if i can have chemo.
Have a lovely weekend with your mum, spoil her with lots of hugs and kisses.
Hi it starts this Thursday, but she has a lot of prepatration before then, me and my sister are going with her as she has to be in all day, and all very scary, she is proun to infections so i am trying to get rid of this cold before then, how are you? x
