Well I completed the six cycles . Have just taken my last steroids and am just coming out of what has been a difficult time with the side effects of the chemo etc. I don’t know how to feel now ? I have CT scan and pet scan next week so I suppose it’s in the lap of the gods where I go from here . I want to feel positive and not dwell on what’s ahead but I’m really struggling . I’m hoping that I will gain more energy as the week passes and try to get out more . Thankyou for reading this and my previous post your encouragement helped to complete the treatment when I would have given up . I wish all of you a good day and may we all find the ability to be grateful for today and leave tomorrow to look after itself . 

  • Hello again Hilo13, it's good to hear from you again, many thanks for your update and a very well done for getting through your chemotherapy, the side effects can be awful so congratulations from me.

    I think most of us can relate to how it feels having treatment which we hope has helped and given us more time but have a bit of a wait to find out, I will have everything crossed for some good news, it's  good to hear your scans are next week, so the waiting won't be too long  

    We all try to be positive and it's possible to some degree even if the down days are never too far away,  I take one day at a time, I'm sure your energy levels will increase soon and you  can get out and live a little.

    We are all happy to have supported you and if we have helped we are happy to have done so, I hope you have a lovely day as well. My best wishes with your scans and please take care

  • Hi Hilo13 Good for you well done the hard bits been done so just need to relax and deal with the after effects  . I know exactly what you mean about in the hands of the Gods , I like to think of it as been in the coliseum and the emperor giving the thumbs up or down lol. Just look after yourself and take it easy , Plenty of rest , good food and more rest . I sat in the park today for an hour and have been napping most of the day since getting out of bed this morning . I only finished my treatment in June. Stay positive regardless . All the Best minmax  

  • Thankyou so much I will try to stay positive you are an inspiration in your replies xx
