    Half way
    Chemo cycle 4 started on Monday. Technically I am half way through the chemo as there should be 6 cycles. However this is not going up a hill until you are half way then back down the other side. It is more going up the hill and turning the corner to...

    Waiting for results
    I rang the hospital today to see if my biopsy results had come back. They hadn’t so another day of being on edge. I know vulva cancer is rare and it normally affects older women but I’m still scared I have it. I keep thinking about the le...

    Recovery - 4 weeks on
    Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since my last piece of planned treatment, and co-incidentally the anniversary of the mammogram that started it all off. I have had a wide area excision and sentinel node biopsy, 4 rounds of EC chemo, 12 weeks of Paclitaxel, 5...

    This round of Paclitaxel seems easier so far than the previous two (which apart from being light head, having sore fingers & weird feeling in toes were not too bad)   I am pleasantly surprised as I understood it would get more intense the f...

    A catch up post - 8 years now

    Thought it was worth popping back to Update again. 

    I'm over 8 years since treatment but still being seen every 6 months because of the osteoradionecrosis in the lower left jaw where the radio therapy was targeted. The tooth that was wobbly got loose and looser over the time since I last posted and came out in the autumn last year.  That was followed by a small piece of dead bone. The hole it left seems clean now and and has partially covered its self but is still a hole. 

    It doesn't look as bad...

    It Takes Two To Tango – the start of the immunotherapy story

    Third cycle
    Just had my third cycle of chemo which went through the Picc line which was put in yesterday. Definitely recommend a Picc line. I seem to have had every possible side effect but I remain in hope this one will be different.
