I'm new in the community but not newly diagnosed. I had surgery for a pleiomorphic sarcoma two years ago. It has now recurred but is inoperable. I start doxorubicin as palliative chemo on Wednesday. It will be combined with dexamethasone and antiemetics. I would be interested in advice as to how to manage with the chemo. I'm thinking of writing a blog to help myself through the next few weeks.

Thanks to the community...I have found it useful so far,

  • Hi Sue456 GrinningColin had his 4th chemo on Friday and he is currently having 2 units of blood as we speak! His next 2 treatments have been postponed so he can have surgery on the lumps under his arm and back removed and who knows if they can take any of the other 4 that are dotted around!! 6January  pencilled in for the operation and fingers crossed.  

    Hope you're ok. I need to  find your blog on here somewhere again lol!!
