should have had chemo ( ECX ) last week but it was cancelled because my bloods were too low. went testerday to see oncologist as normal who told me i wasnt having any more chemo as it was taking its toll on me. the results of the treatment have been very good and he was amazed at how well i had coped with it. so yesterday was my last treatment 90% of course completed. back today for transfusion and then thats it for 3 months when i go back for consultation. doc says that the cancer will always be there and ive got to be aware of any changes etc which could be difficult as i had it for god knows how long without knowing i had it cos i had no signs/symptoms!!! however, although im pleased with chemo finishing so i can get back to a relatively normal life, its going to feel rather strange too. no more blood tests, meds, visits to hospital, all the things that have become a way of life. and life is what is important....i was diagnosed in march and told without treatment i would be dead by the end of the year. so thank you all the staff at the Derby Royal, you have given me the best treatment, medical and otherwise and thaks to all my family , friends and maclanders for all your support.
hugs and kisses sue xxxx
