Hello everyone
i am not really new as I first joined 2 months ago but somehow forgot how to login and until now had not worked out how to rejoin. I really have felt such turmoil that I didn’t have the mental capacity to work out what I had done wrong,
lying awake tonight I thought I would make one more effort as I really do need the support and I’m hoping that I have now managed to rejoin and I have written the password down this time!
so my continuing sorry is as follows. I have now completed 2 rounds (6 treatments) of paclitaxel + carboplatin with another 2 rounds to go. I am starting to have more side effects with some numbness in my middle and 3rd toes on my right foot, some hair loss and tummy pains, I am also having 3 injections of filagrastim to help boost my white blood cells which do cause me extremely achy legs. Also I am feeling very tired without much energy and feel quite miserable and fed up. My big worry is whether the treatment is actually working but I am not due to have a face to face with my consultant until 22nd September so it’s playing the waiting game again which as we all know is the most traumatic part of it all.
with all these weeks unable to join in the discussions I have still read everyone’s updates with huge interest. I do send you all my love and support and although I never wanted or expected to be part of this club, boy do I appreciate that there is a club to be part of.
love Jane xx
