I started my new chemo regime yesterday and it went very well. I say new, its the carbo/taxol that I have had twice before but given every week for 3 weeks instead of once every 3 weeks. The fourth week is a break from chemo (although I still have to go to the hospital to see the consultant) and then the cycle starts again. I was booked to have a pre-chemo chat beforehand, but was told I didn't need it as I am an "expert" at having chemo. I must say that on my list of "things I would like to be good at", having chemo wasn't one of them! However, I am feeling quite uplifted this morning as I like to think of the chemo drugs as my own private army, charging round inside me. overpowering and then getting rid of this nasty invader. Holding on to that thought, I send very best wishes to everyone in Macland and hope today is a good one for you all.

Take care and feel well,

Love lizzie xx

Hi Lizzie,

What a fantastic attitude, I have just finished my chemo 3 fec100 3 tax and due to start radiotherapy soon, like you even tho I have had my rough days chemo/radio are my own private little army and your comment made me smile because when I was a child thats how my mum explained infection fighting cells when I was ill. So thank you for bringing back that sweet memory for me.

All the best to you with your treatment,

best wishes, gentle hugs Alex x

Hi lizzie, have to say full of admiration for your attitude. Have spoken to you before I am on same treatment you were on before, the tree weekly cycle and finding that a bit hard to do it every week must take some doing. You sound a lovely lady. You really do have to enjoy the days when you have a good day, dont you? Funny now the things you think of as great, first session of chemo got an infection so spent most of three weeks in hospital. On a high this months because so far its just been the chemo side effects, life is strange!!! Know what you mean about not wanting to be an expert in chemo. I wish you the very best with your treatment over the next couple of weeks. Take care xxx

Hi Lizzie my lovely, that is the spirit girl and I like the way you put it with the 'army'. I have always put it down to boxing, cancer hits me, I hit it back even harder, maybe with me being a bouncer I should say to it,'You're banned from the club, get out, you are not welcome'. I start chemo again on the 3rd of next month from weekly to 3 weekly. So lizzie you get polishing those army boots and I will do the same with my boxing gloves, let us kick cancer arse together. Take care mate....love Carol x
