..

hi - i started with the same regime as you but when i went back for my second cycle i was told i wouldn't be able to have the cispltin any more as it was giving me a ringing in my ears and that it could cause me to go deaf - they changed it to carboplatin/pemetrexed - i had three cycle of this (total of 4 altogether) - it was very succesful and my cancer shrunk from 5.5cm to 3.5cm - i have also had twenty sessions of radiotheraphy at leeds since then - i am now treatment free - i finished my rt on the 6th may - i have not seen the new part of castle hill but it sounds lovely - i was there in aug 2008 to half the top left lobe removed - every one there was just so lovely - i hardly had any side afects - i didn't loose any hair it didn't even thin out - that was a bonus - i wasn't sick and didn't fel sick - the only problem i had was that i felt absolutely wiped out and wanted to sleep a lot - but if you asked my family they would tell you that i still insisted on doing every thing for myself and others as usual so that maybe had something to do with being tired - i also suffered from and still am suffering but not quiet as much from hot sweats - they are horrid - but not as bad as what some others have had to face - so i hope that you will be as lucky as me and that it all goes well for you - keep me posted on how your doing - i am going to turkey on sunday for a weeks all inclusive with my little girl - we are sooooo looking forward to it - take care - love karen - xoxo
