Bowel cancer CARERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS chat

Hi Angie. Tooth clearing up. Les had Hickman line out yesterday and starts chemo next Tuesday which I am not looking forward to as I think this one has real bad side effects. Honestly I am dreadingit. Les is pleased as he has been off too long and they are growing. Weather here okay too. Just dreading the after effects but will keep an eye on him. just wish there was someone near to support us but hey ho  I hope bill tolerates the next lot of chemo xx

Fingers crossed for Tuesday and hopefully he tolerates the side affects be thinking of you x

Thank you angie. I do too but his feet and hands are worse now with the first lot of chemo. I hope bill does not suffer too much with the same neuropathy as it is awful. It has been nice having a couple of weeks off as it life seemed normal but now back to the rollercoaster. I just can’t bear to see him poorly.  Fingers crossed he can cope with it. Sending you and everyone else a huge hug xxx

Hi ladies!  How are you all this week? Just scrolling through the forum and saw your posts here. Maggie how is Les bearing up with new chemo regime. Angie8 I don't know you but hi!

Sending you all hugs and strength as per. Take Care.

Hi Vicky. Up to now okay but only had one chemo and 8 tablets. We will have to see how the week goes. He did say he feels funny but could not explain it. I am stressed with all the work going on here at the bungalow and les only planting plants and not tidying up the bits or the trees. It is a nightmare. I was not too good yesterday as was worried about him. Sending you and everyone else loads of hugs xx

Hi I joined the group over 2 years ago contributed a little in the beginning then stopped,  but I remember your posts and followed your story and your sad loss of jay 2 years ago and the fact that you continue support those of us still on the awful cancer rollercoaster is amazing thank you 

What a lovely way to say thank you Angie. Just to let you we are all thinking of you too and everyone else. There must be a lot of posts that you have gone through. Love Maggie xx

You're welcome Angie. 

Yes I can identify what you are all more or less going through now and it helps me to help you. Some days are still quite raw even though its two years in almost but I feel I have moved forwards be it that bit slightly. Best Wishes to you. 

Vicky xx

I think it is so lovely of you Vicky to continue to support all of us xx

Bill started back today after a very quick 4 week break , infusion today and pump on , back Wednesday to have it removed symptoms don’t get to much , it does affect his breathing and balance now also .
