Rhank you Sue C and Jilly. I have my cousin coming to stay and then my friend. My daughter has cheerleading at weekends and dont want her to miss it.
Im just preparing for Reiki and then going to pick up my wash n blowed wig and pop in work for a short while.
My way is to occupy myself rhe night b4 treatments xxx
Morning all and happy Sunday!
Trying to do my weekly read through and catch up, brains not quite playing ball though!?
I had my 5/6 chemos on Friday, I’m trying the indigestion and anti sickness tablets this cycle as so far, I’ve not had much more than achy skin,tiredness and gaginess to deal with but some nausia crept in last cycle, so hoping the tablets may help.
Still feeling positive 95% of the time, but feel my relatively easy chemo ride has come at a price. my brain just keeps worrying about my chemo regimen change at cycle 3. (Docetaxal increased heart toxicity so im just on carboplatin alone now)
With only one left to go I suppose they’re is little point talking to onc again, he has already told me there is literally no other chemo drug I could have.
So I’m concerned about recurrence due to less effective chemo, less chemo drugs available to me in the future and sort of feeling like a sitting duck!?
Anyhoo, CK, glad to hear the charity money is still coming in. Great to make this as positive as we can!
I have given the go ahead for my just giving fundraiser to be paid to BCC now. £1300 raised for donating my hair! My sister did the same and raised £1500 also for BCC! This charity has definitely helped me get through with a much better perspective, having this forum available for honest chat is amazing. All the info booklets given to me at hospital are BCC booklets. Ask a nurse section, helpline, brilliant resource! Not forgetting the brilliant CC’s!!!
Jencat and Rosie,glad your both feeling better too.
I’m sorry I know I’ve missed lots of people,but I feel I need two computer screens to remember who has written what?!!
Hi Xena
Good to hear from you and well done to the charity for BCC! You are right to do it for such a good forum. Ive raised £1880 for MacMillan and £2168 for Prevent Breast Cancer! I will be sorting an event when I am well enough in the new year for BCC!
I hope rhe SE have been easier for you on Carboplatin. My aches and pains have been controlled with Ibroprofen, Paracetomol and Epsom Salt baths. Last night the pain was pretty sharp right up from back, neck to head! Temp went slightly up yesterday but went down again.
I would try not to worry about not having this or not having that Xena orherwise you will be constantly worried! Is something doesnt suit Im sure they will use the next suitable drug for you.
I remember asking why this and why not that but I have come to terms that they cant tell you whats what until your body tells you. Just try to occupy with things to do on your good days and have a pamper or a nice walk. This cold weather makes it easier to stay in though!
Ive just had dinner and just realised I didnt enjoy it although it was my fave last cycle! Its so strange that woth even the 3xECs the taste buds were so different. Im craving tomatoes now and actually ate spaghetti hoops today! Last time I remrmber feeding them to my daughter when she was a little girl…and shes 20 now!!!
So, resting up now and then bath again later.xx
