When it's the amount of weeks you are about to endure under chemotherapy. For the second time!
I, like many before me am facing the upheaval, worry and uncertainty of my cancer coming back.
There has been a good amount of resolve settle over the last few days. Throughout my experience with having had cancer I managed some laughs at It's expense. I became an active member of the Macmillan blog community for a short period during 2009 and then later in 2010. And here I am again. The pledge I made to give back the charity I was shown in 2009 materialised in the shape of a 25 mile - 3 peaks sponsored walk for Macmillan. That was nothing a couple of night's good sleep didn't fix.
However I am now facing this ugly opponent again. Not the 3 rounds of BEP chemo that was pumped through my system 4 years ago but 4 rounds of TIP chemotherapy. I would like to hear from anyone with experience of the heavy cisplatin dosed TIP chemo and what not to look forward to.
I'll keep it light and good humoured when It begins. I just wanted to start this dusty ball rolling again
and get some feedback.
Until the next time.
Robert
