yes i know it seems strange to write that , but if it wasnt for chemo i would already be ashes......
i had a lovely phone call from my oncologist today, and the good news is my tumours are still the same as they were 3 months ago! the 5 original tumours have been stable for nearly 2 years and the new one is still the same as it was 3 months ago...... so hopefully it will follow suit and stay stable for a long time.....
for all of you just starting out on chemo.... yes chemo sucks, ok its not nice, but not usually as bad as you are expecting.... (i`ve had 14... 8 the first time and 6 this time) but it could save your life... or at least extend it, it has extended mine by nearly 2 and 1/2 years so far, so it is worth it
COURAGE IS.... WHEN YOUR SCARED TO DEATH...... BUT YOU SADDLE UP ANYWAY....
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
