Had first cycle and feel very well

Strange question but had my first cycle if chemo on the 18th and I feel like I don't have cancer I feel well in myself , is this normal? And will it get worse or am I just lucky ? Even shaved my head ready for war and haven't lost a follicle lol typical xx love to all fighting the fight I got mis diagnosed and had to push to make sure they had done all the correct tests to find out they should if done a bone scan as my cancer is rare it's called inflammatory, I've had the bone scan now and start my next cycle on 1/7/2020 xx

 

  • Hi polly. 

    Alot of people don't realise they have cancer, i kept being sick some tests showed i had a hiatus hurnea, hence sickness, but one of the blood tests showed something else wrong so more tests and found cancer if it wasn't for the hurnea it could have been found to late. 

    Was working doing all normal life things. Turns out it was prostate Cancer gone to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung. So i was lucky, was diagnosed Feb 2016 been on palliative care since.

    P.s some chemotherapy can get stronger as you get more into your body, so be careful. But congratulations on first one being OK hope all the others are OK as well.. 

  • Hi Billy x

    Thankyou so much for replying to my post, your so amazing to be coping with all that , isn't it crazy that such an awful disease hides within our bodys mine is in my breast and I'm just thankful this didn't happen to me when my children were small ,as a single mum I can't even think how awful that would of been people say to me how can I be coping so well because I'm single and will be having a double mastectomy, being very busty I'm glad to just get rid of them they did their job feeding my babies but friends think I should be worried about finding a partner .. boobs don't make a person , actually if and that's a big if I ever met someone and was lucky to full In love I'd know they love me for me when before it's always been about my bust size I'm very independent and I like my own company so I'm ok with being on my own , I will admit it is so hard not having the love of a partner when your going through such a time , just a cuddle a hand to hold someone to make me some tea and dinner someone just to care, that's the safest part of having cancer and being single  

    It must be so scary for you ? I'm so sorry I don't know what to say I just hope your happy as a person and I thankyou for your kind words xxxx

  • Hi polly, don't worry about me. I'm managing OK and keeping positive is main point. 

    I keep going because I'm looking after my disabled wife she needs 24 /7 care, I'm her official carer she has Alzheimers and parkinsons plus few other problems. I had to promise to look after her before she'd marry me she's nearly 14years older than me been together nearly 50 years,.
