So having felt rubbish for the last few months, I am now feeling better !

2nd round of carbo/gem yesterday, liver functions improving and I feel alot brighter. Had a horrible time with 1st cycle, nose bleeds and brusing, the fear of the unknown - I didnt know low red platelets were very common.

My 6 year old came into the ward for the first time to see the end of the chemo yesteday and took it all in her stride and loved watching the needle coming out, maybe she will be a nurse when she grows up.

Looking forward to back to school tuesday, its been a long 7 weeks.

Best wishes to all

Glad your chemo is finished and happy to see you are feeling better. Onwards and upwards.

Just remember to take things easy for a while.

Best wishes, Christine xx

Hi Coogee,

Glad you are feeling better. Your young daughter definately sounds like she has the making of a good nurse. Look after yourself.

Children are so good at making difficult situations feel bearable. She is a treasure.

Spend time relaxing and giving your daughter BIG cuddles.

Hi Coogee,

So glad you are feeling better. It's true the kids give us strength as however you feel in yourself, I find keeping things as normal as possible for them helps me through the day. It sounds like your daughter is a plucky young lady. As you say it's quite nice to be back in the school routine, although I'm not sure my kids would agree!...Best wishes Helen.
