Exercises going well, bit worried about this 'cording' massaging three times a day and have heard one 'snap' but thats it, hope am doing it right.
Looking forward to this weekend, out and about and out for dinner saturday night with Rob and Helen.
Big day Monday hope will be given all clear to start chemo, just want to get on with...
So today it all started. Radiotherapy on my tumour behind my breastbone. I'm in so much pain now with it I can't wait to get on with it.
Got to the QE hospital in Birmigham early and changed into my breast gown that I will be wearing for my next 15 sessions. Got called to a little room to go through the paperwork, make sure I wasn't pregnant, go through the side affects. Told me I couldn't wear deodorant for the course of the treatment, and I couldn't shave my armpits!!!!! What...
Decided today that I am going to do a 10K run for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Am not very sporty but hopefully I shall push myself to train for it. The run is on 31st of May! eek!

My white blood cell counts were back up yesterday so I was able to sart my 2nd cycle. Feeling happier to be back on the capsules! There were a few more participants and the unit at Christies was busy yesterday. Having a 'chemo rest' week this week and hopefully back to work next week. Hope everyone else is having an OK week.

I was wondering if anyone here is on the Bilcap Trial and could share their experiences with me...thankyou
Hi all, I am hoping that someone with any experience of the AML trial, RO5045337, would share their experiences with us as my husband has been offered it as all other treatments have failed, and we are frightened and confused. He was diagnosed in 2006 and had a transplant which kept him well for over 3 years but sadly the AML is back and has beaten another 3 courses of Chemo. AAARRRGH!!!!!!
Well it is the day of reckoning today and I take my first lenalidamide tablet tonight. Dreading it but it has to be done. Sitting in my apartment looking out at the sea and wondering if I will still be here tomorrow - talk about dramatic, I know! If this is what I am like about taking the tablets what will I be like when the real chemo starts? Must get a grip and pretend it is an adventure!
Hopefully will post tomorrow and let you know that I survived the first 'killer pill'.
