Congratulations on finishing your chemo! 

Different chemo I know but I found my taste buds started recovering after about 2 weeks. It took over a year before I could appreciate a fine wine or malt whisky again. A small price to pay for the hope the chemo gave me. It saved me a fortune too, as cheap plonk and own brand whisky tasted no different from the best claret or single malt! 

Best wishes

Hi Dave

You're reply made me smile . I am not worried about not being able to drink as you said it’s a small price to pay and quite amusing to watch my friends as an evening progresses and they’re drunkenness increases!

Very smug thought I know

As I keep saying to my husband I’m a cheap date right now and he should be thankful, also savings on hairdressers too

Hope your treatment has been positive.

Hi there,

Well done on finishing your chemo.

I see you are/were on Avastin.

Wondered if you could tell me if you think it was effective?

Did you pay for it privately and was it administered separately to your other chemo drugs?

I've just been quoted £1,250 every 2 weeks for Avastin by an nhs hospital, private section. It seems a lot. Just want to know if this is a usual price. 

Thanks. Hope you are doing well.
