Hi everyone

Yesterday had a very welcome phone call inviting me to start my Immunotherapy treatment on Monday 3rd October. I can only thank my Onco who must jump through hoops for me.

Have the blood test next week and a CT scan after 3 cycles. I'm determined to present my body in the best possible health (LOL) so have given up my beloved 2 daily scotch and cokes. I admit I had one after the phone call.

Out of interest do any of you have the odd tipple or are you alcohol free? My Onco says a weak scotch with lots of coke and ice won't be a problem. There's not a lot of things I enjoy nowadays and I hate the thought of giving it up but wonder would I be daft if I continued to have one?

Be interesting to hear your thoughts., Hugs, Barb xx

Hi Barb,

This is a bit of a saga isn't it, but it looks as if you're almost there, so hang on in there. If this gets you two years that it will have been worth the wait. Is the pain now under control ? That takes it out of you, so I hope it's one thing dealt with. Big hugs. Rainie x
