The Plan!

1 minute read time.

Hi Guys, Thought id write an update been feeling almost back to normal since last surgery and been busy getting ready for hols on thursday although im still not ready!!!

Ive been told surgery all done phew! I am glad they did some more though as they did take some DCIS away that was left near to the tumour... i didnt know till the other day that i had this as well as the invasive.

Onto the chemo... On 2nd July i shall start 4 cycles of EC followed by 3 of TAX.... feeling very nervous but with any luck i hope to be one of those that sails through it!! Hoping anyway!  That should finish in November then a 3 week break and 4 weeks of radiotherapy which if the plan works out then the last treatment should be christmas eve!!! HO HO HO! Think Santa Going to be tired this year!!

I have an 89% chance of surviving the next 10 years+ which is better odds then England winning the world cup... so im quite reassured by that.

I owe Angela, Sniffsnoop and Debbie Watson a message and im sorry ive been slow in doing this, i shall try before thursday.

Im going for a visit to the chemo unit today and hopefully be all clued up afterwards.

Big hugs to all that need them. xxxx

    Hi Kate

    Its great to hear you so upbeat and positive cos its the only way to deal with it. I love your attitude! I have the last of my EC on 24th of this month and start with Tax in July. I'm sure you'll get thru the chemo great just follow my mantra ' If its a good day get up and out and do something, if its a bad day don't!' it works for me!

    Have a great holiday and come back ready and rested for the fight.

    Love Maxine

    Hi Kate

    Chemo is not that bad,I've had 3 FEC so far and it's totally bareable so don't worry about it!Try and get an injection called neulasta which will keep your blood count up and stop u getting infections

     all the best miki
