Well done Jillybobs
Im interested in your treatment as I haven’t had chemo yet but the juries out. So I like to be prepared. I understand all treatments are individual
How often do you go for treatment?

Hi Ann,
I am having oxaliplatin every 21 days via drip and Capecitabine for 14 days orally followed by 7 days off rest I would recommend if your having oxaliplatin you tale a warm scarf and gloves as it makes you very sensitive to the cold this a 5 cycle treatment to be followed by radiotherapy then the op .ps sorry for the typo's but having to wear gloves at the moment 
Hi Jillybobs
It’s great to hear your sense of humour is still there. I suffer with bad circulation on the best of days. When they measure my oxygen levels through my finger it’s 80% on the ear 100%
So I will definitely invest in some thermal gloves
I’ve had bowel surgery and all clear so far but have to have navigational bronchoscopy to get a bio on right lung then if apt it’ll be chemo as it’s both lungs
Apparently it’s not considered to be from the bowel. They saying it’s a grey area so I may be watch and wait
So the bio should say next steps.
Ann
