    Just thought l would give you all a warning. Turkey is a no go area for cancer patients. MIA on line have told me they will not cover anyone with health conditions going to Turkey because they have had too many claims.Just thought if any one was making plans to go it might be as well to change your destination.

     

    looks like l will be going with out health cover again, oh well "just dont tell my oncologist"

    I saw my Oncologist yesterday and he told me that he wanted me to have a CT Scan. My CA125 was still going up. He wants to check if its working or else he will try another one. I did have my 3rd chemo while l was there. I had a long wait because of staff shortages. never mind its over for now.

    So l am waitring for my scan which should be in the next two weeks. Last time l was offered a cancelation may be l will get lucky…
