2nd cycle capecitabine

Hi Catsski, thanks for asking I'm doing just great at the moment thanks. Got in a good week today , always perks me up. Yes I have tons of Loperamide in my med box lol as not using! I was writing down what food caused me to go more often, not recording actual food items eaten any longer, but it sure did help me in the first few months after op.

Hope you are doing well, have a good week! 

Hey I’m still waiting on mri appointment, trying to just not think about it lol , like you it’s kind of worry when u have to, stay safe xx

I can almost hear that wee accent 

what a little hero he is ! I hope he is keeping ok and we can all draw from his example !

take care ,

Hi court he’s doing great and a constant source of inspiration! 

Court this is my boy and my world xx

What a boy ! That is absolutely outstanding ! He is a therapists dream . So independent and controlled movements . But what a fantastic mother too! Letting him do it but encouraging all the way !

Very proud of that young man !

Hello Rose2020,

Great that the MRI scan has not revealed anything  to be concerned about and the PET scans do not take too long, just like passing through an extra large  polo mint and back! 

All very positive from you and encouraging me to adopt the less stressing attitude. Thank you.

Hello Stomagirl  and Rose2020,

1. You will not believe this! Both Stomagirl and I off chemo. I was recovering really well, abe to eat and taste food, no pain as all meds working really well,but still easily tired, but On Friday had a light switch day and I felt totally amazing, I had energy! I thought great a whole week like this before my next chemo,but then... Saturday morning, had a balck out in the loo ( think it was low blood presure) did a face plantand  ended up in A&E. Now two black eyes,  a nose bigger than Ben Nevis and  a mouth full os stitches as my teeth went through my lip. I look  dreadful! However, the good thing is I still feel absolutely fine and actually my face seems to be healing quicker than I thought ( Need mask and sunglasses  to not scare anyone including me!). Seeing my oncologist on Thursday and hoping for reduced medication... Hope you two are both okay.                                                       Thinking of you                                                                                                                                                                       Catsski
2. Remember we cae do this!

Hi Catsski, oh wow what a thing! So sorry about your face eek! Hope you recover soon. 

Are you off chemo currently or finished with chemo?  

Glad to hear you had got some energy back, and sorry about the black out. I am doing great. Got into a bit of a lazy moody slump this morning as my feet and hands are very painful & tingly at the moment (very common chemo side effect). I love walking but my feet ache like mad, so I got on my son's bike and went for a fantastic and revitalising cycle. Came back very sweaty as its currently 30 degrees in North London!!

Feel better though for it, for sure. I always feel better when I get outdoors, mentally & physically. 

Take care and hope it all goes well with your ONC on Thursday. I have PET scan Sat morning so fingers crossed AGAIN!! 

Ahhhh noo way Catsski !!! Ouchhh hope you are feeling ok !! I started chemo cycle 4 on Monday.. feeling really emotional!! don’t know why lol , got liver scan on aug 3rd .. tad nervous tbh .. that aside I’m feeling good, it’s my birthday tomorrow so wee shopping day and paddling pool with grandsons!! Feel like I should be shouting from rooftops it’s my birthday !!
