second chemo tomorrow

1 minute read time.
hi everyone ,havn't written anything for a while . i have my next chemo tomorrow know what to expect more now. had a bit of a rough time with the last one but if it gets rid of the rouge cells all well and good so im not complaining i know i have been lucky.had a fabulous birthday party last friday night my children , james anne-marie ,daniel, sarah & siouxsie organised it . my birthday is actually on the 14th but because of the chemo they did it earlier . i think the girls did the organising but in our house they all get the credit which is nice .they are great kids i am a lucky woman . i have been very spoilt they say you reap what you sow & that makes me very proud .in one way i am looking forward to the chemo tomorrow because i have suffered with back problems for a few years now its mainly in my coxics it is difficult to sit for long periods the last chemo gave me relief from this for nearly two weeks it was heaven so i am hoping that it happens again my oncologist says there may be arthitis there because he has heard of arithis being controled with chemo drugs . its back now so it will be nice to be pain free for a while at least.this month has been a lot nicer than last [see my blog glad july has gone] my mum is back from ireland now though she still has the nerve rash her doctor is looking after her though & understands the situation so thats good .i am hoping to vist family in ireland when my treatment ends so i will pay my respects then . hope everyone is well & getting plenty of rest need to go now my bottom is gettig the better of me write some more tomorrow with love n hugs treeze xxxxxxx

    Hi Treeze,

    That answers my question about your party!!!  So glad it was good.

    Just a thought...I am going to be taking part in a trial of the above drug which is an osteo-arthritis drug.  Seems they think that stopping inflammation in joints may also do so  around tumours ....very short laymans summary but may be worth you trying to get on re your back?

    There is a bit about it on the main Cancerbacup site or I have an info thingy - get in touch if you want more details.

    Lots if love
