    18) 5 days post 3rd Paclitaxel
    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.

    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.
