Lovely morning chit-chat thread- March 2025

Good morning Angie, my immunotherapy has been paused for a couple of weeks because of steroids for stomach problems so I know what these minor setbacks feel like. A few bumps along the way is normal it seems. Coffee is a great spirit lifter, I would have something stronger but can't at the moment lol. Keep your spirits up and have a good day.

Morning All

Been little bit busy last couple of Daye, where needs must.

Son coming to visit. he is about 3/4 hours away, so thought will have a tidy up lol .

Even got my  grass cut, hard work to when i first started doing it, never mind.

Hope everyone is well and any appointments they go well, i have bloods Friday and Hospital Monday, to see how i am doing on this new course of treatment. Never a dull moment.

Not very bright this morning, last week spoilt us.

Morning everyone,  Angie and Patrick my treatment had to be stopped last week as my neutraphils are too low.  I'm going today for bloods to see if okay for this Friday.  I think it is something I will have to get used to.  Also waiting for an ultrasound for a lump in my thigh.  As to coffee Im on my third mug .

Hi Patrick,  your right , a load of bumps, on the road at times, it is getting over them, so we carry on, on this journey.

Wish you well What immunotherapy are you having?

Quiet a few different ones, since they first became availble.

Hi Ellie, hope you have recovered from your fall.

I'm on atezolizumab, not so common in the UK, there were problems with NICE approval for lung cancer, but it works on a similar principle to pembrolizumab (Keytruda). Since it is my last treatment option, I'm not doing any more chemo, it would be nice if it worked without disrupting my life lol

Sounds like you have a really busy week ahead Eddie, an exciting one as well. Enjoy it!

Hi Patrick, our journey is like a steeplechase, always another hurdle to get over, but we hang on to the horse so not to fall off, fingers crossed your next hurdle is a long way off.

Hi Patrick, the destinations are great, not so the travelling, thankfully, I won't be doing much of the driving,

Hi  I have heard of it, I was on Pembrolizumab or Keytruda, t the time  it had just been sanctioned in the uk for lung cancer, I was my oncologist  first patient to go on it, i did it for the two years, for me so much better than chemo.

Just starting to move about bit more, will not do it again we learn from our mistakes.

Hi Ellie, lovely to hear your able to get around a little more, onwards and upwards, not up's and downs my friend.
