Hey everyone
7 of 8 chemo sessions DONE!
My session on Tuesday has hit me hard again insofar as joint pain and although I have co-codomol to fall back on, it makes me feel sick so I try not to take it until bedtime in order to get a good night sleep
My last 4 sessions have been Paclitaxel and a few people have said they have felt very similar with this drug
I’m sure everyone is the same when thinking they just wanna feel NORMAL again !!
I’m positive as this is the best way to fight this but some days it’s bloody hard
I wish everyone well and that we all win our battles with this disease
Sending lots of love xx
Hi Red robin101
Although I didn't have the same type of cancer as you I do recognise the feeling of wanting to feel 'normal' again. Although not on any treatment I have to see a dermatologist every 3 months to check that my melanoma is not showing any signs of making an unwanted comeback. Unfortunately, she wants to remove a 'suspicious mole' so I'm back on the treadmill of waiting for an appointment, then having the op followed by an anxious wait for results.
I hope your treatment gets easier.
