Monday morning and the start of another week, can't believe I've been away from school for five months, never had that much time off (apart from when the children were little), but finding loads to do and keeping very busy, have borrowed my friends teenage sons cross trainer which is hilarious to use!

Thursday takes me to see my Onc the lovely Dr. Bryant and bloods tests etc to see if I can have chemo number 4.

Am anxious not had Docetaxel before and having three cycles, just hoping not too rough, but as with anything thats new will have to wait and see. FEC was bearable apart from the sickness which by cycle three they had sorted out!!!!

My family and friends have been so supportive through this and my two teenage kids never fail to amaze with their strength, love and support, am a very proud mumma.

This week sees the start of James's GCSE exams, so bless him think he feeling anxious too.

So fingers and toes, eyes etc. crossed for thursday that I can go ahead with my chemo friday.

Love and gentle hugs,

Alex

Hi

Good Luck with Docetaxol, I also have to have this after 4 cycles of EC, just had second and not suffering too badly, just nausea. My daughter does her GCSE's next year but is doing parts of them this year also. She is also a wonderful source of strength to me. How lucky are we?

Hope all goes well for you

All good wishes

Maxine
