So I started chemo and radio yesterday, chemo was injected through a syringe it was blue and I’m sure they said it was mytomycin and today I’ve started my tablets which are Capecitabibe 500mg 3 tablets twice daily so far so good I have now had my second...
Hello! Im currently three weeks into my 16 week aldara treatment for ain2/3 with a view to getting laser treatment in the new year if it doesnt work - they seem to think there is a 1 in 3 chance it might work but no more as tricky to apply accurately...
Hi everyone I’m sorry if this isn’t the place to ask as regardless of what the dr and nurse keep saying I’m fairly sure this is a pre cancer. Any way I was recently diagnosed with AIN3 carcinoma in situ with strong p16 block on a lesion 2cm from my...
I had my treatment 6th Jan to 12th Feb 2025, and I can't believe a year has passed already. I know I probably should be feeling proud of myself and how far I've come, but I'm feeling quite the opposite, I'm feeling down and lonely. I live on my own and...

Hi all, it’s been a while since I posted and I hope everyone is doing well, whatever part of the rollercoaster they’re on? I’m almost coming up to a year from the end of my chemo radiation. So far things are going in the right direction. I do have some...
Hi everyone, posting here for the first time on behalf of my mother who is currently 11 days in to 28 days of treatment. We have both found all your comments so far really helpful so thank you! My mother is struggling to cope with the pain in the radiation...
Hello everyone, My oncologist meeting went well yesterday (Jan 8th) and she agreed that a PICC line would be a good idea, given that I'd had an extravasation in my left arm on December 29th. (The arm is improving and bruising is disappearing.) I had...
