Hi just read your fabulous update. Can I ask if you found Cape hard in the beginning. I’m on my first cycle 2nd week and struggling with fatigue and tiredness. Aswell as indigestion.

One thing that came out of it all was I was diagnosed initially with stage 2 and  treatment of chemo and radio . Due to all the scans they discovered secondary in bone which wouldn’t of been picked up if my liver function tests hadn’t of played up.
