well I’ve been back to hear if I had one of the common mutations.  I was told it was quite likely as I’m a non smoker ‘young’ and female but no I’m not.  So as of Monday I start chemo x2  and immunotherapy the best case scenario I’ll be going to the hospital every 3 weeks for the next 2 years.  So this is living with cancer.  I have to get my fighting spirit back

    Hello

    Nice to hear you got on so well with immunotherapy and the 3 week cycle.  Just read your background and that sure gives me hope too! Long may you stay stable.  Thanks for your words of reassurance xx

    Hi dance in the rain, just to say very best starting treatment again tomorrow, never an easy step to take but you will feel better when you get the first lot over! I hope it goes well and your side effects and nonexistent!

    Daloni, I hope your paper signing goes well and you get on your new trial, and that you don’t need a nasty biopsy or anything. 

    Wishing you both the very best xxxx

    Hi, Dance in the rain.

    I'm also on a 3 weekly immunotherapy cycle at the Marsden in Fulham. I have bloods and clinic on Mondays, treatment on Wednesdays. I'll be there tomorrow (I mean today, I suppose) at 11 for blood tests downstairs in the day unit & up in outpatients at 3. Does that match up with your times? Would you like to meet for a chat?

    Speaking of having treats on hospital days... the Marsden in Fulham has an arrangement with Chelsea Sports Centre so patients and our carers can have a pay-as-you-go membership for swimming and gym. It's only a ten minute walk from the hospital, and swimming costs less than £2. Is that your sort of thing?

    I'll check on here later to see if you want to get together.

    Good luck.
