Chemo round 2 not quite gone to plan ☹︎

No need to apologise. You have told your story and hopefully at the time of writing it as help you alone this journey.

To me your positive attitude was what shined through, I myself am trying to keep my positive attitude and have already learned I need to live with and enjoy what life I have left. Just the fact your first mention is 15 years ago gives me hope. Honestly it as being a help for me to have the privilege of reading it.

 Hope you’re husband’s chemo goes well and you enjoy your cappuccino, I will be having one too always grab a Costa when I’m at the hospital.

Thank you once again

Good morning Ian,  is it your 3rd chemo today?  I am wishing you well this afternoon, I am sure it will be better today.  As forewarned is forearmed.  Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the reply’s.

I tried again this afternoon but unfortunately I had another reaction.

So it’s good bye Docexel and on to something else as yet unknown as my oncologist is in annual leave until next week. Hopefully a decision will be made before the 19th or I’ll lose my chair and face a wait for another to become available.

Hi Ian, I'm so sorry to hear this my friend, like you I have APCa, and my next/last? treatment is chemotherapy, Cabazitaxel, I'm unsure why, but my oncologist told me, this one and Docetaxel are the usual ones for us.

Hi Ian Thanks for your kind words. To be honest,, no one expected me still to be here, even my Oncologist who tells me she has never had such a bulky Patients Folder!! lol! If I can defy the odds, anyone can and Cancer Research UK are coming up with new and better treatments every month, so that’s good news for everyone

Thanks my husband had his 6th and hopefully his last Targeted Chemo yesterday. Next thing is Cardiologist next Tuesday, then in 6 weeks a scan etc to find out IT HAS WORKED!! That’s what you call a PMA positive mental attitude! Good luck, keep in touch!

Hi Ian I didnt know you had to book a chair.  At our hospital you just go to any chair they tell you to go to.  I thought all hospitals were the same.  I really hope you dont lose your chair.

Hi Lee 2Leelaloo 

It’s not really I have to book a chair it’s just the way they refer to it. They give you your date and what Chair you will be in. if all goes well net time I’m in BB then after CC.

Eddieeddiel Hopefully I will know what I’m going onto next week but until my oncologist gets back I don’t know. 
On a good note I’ve got the first PSA results back after starting my treatment and it dropped from 378 to 15 still high but I’m delighted with that

Hi Ian, your PSA drop is wonderful news, I think everyone would be delighted with that, really pleased for you my friend.
