Hi ladies, Good news yesterday my treatment with capecitabine is working shrinkage to liver mets,Yipee.Was on pablociclib and Letrozole this stopped working after a year,thought to myself if the first line treatment does not work well how is second line treatment going to work,but there you go,how wrong I was,no side affect atall.So decided to go away to Hydro and spa hotel in Ayrshire.,with my husband.     On a bit of a rant,but enjoying the start of my weekend away,I am in a hotel which is absolutely lovely they have a beautiful treatment room,which gives shoulder,neck and back massages,also facials and manicures.I had asked if I could possibly have a shoulder neck back massage but also informed them I have secondary breast cancer.I was told that they had No Onocoligy therapists.I left the treatment pretty peed off as I thought large hotels with call themselves hydro spas,would have someone trained,for this.I was thinking about the fact that they advertise spa weekends but obviously not for people suffering from cancer. Might go and suggest to manager about training a therapist to do onocology therepy. Rant over. ... View more
