Hello
I have my last FLOT tomorrow, 4 in all, I have also have 2 rounds of Carbo and Etoposide. I have my CT scan on the 1st Feb as they plan is to operate so I have fingers and toes crossed they I will still be on this pathway.
The Flot has been tough as people say, the Oxy-legs were terrible!! the two week turn around has given me about 3 days of normality. I would like to thank those that offered side effect advice as it really helped me to be proactive with the Meds.
The change for me is from Oct to early December I was not able to eat food, shakes only. I am now eating normally, I have attempted spicy food, like a curry 
. I find I need to eat more often or I get like an empty discomfort, not sure what that's about? My sternum feels sore sometimes also? fingers crossed these are gastral related to the growth but I guess it must of shrunk as I can eat.
I am so looking forward to some weeks without Chemo but also apprehensive, it will be back to that waiting place, and this is it, which pathway? I wish I had not been told IT was high grade, this bit really sticks in my head!!
What lovely blue skies I have in the south at the moment, beautiful 
Hello Alasdair
Well done, 3rd round, 1 more to go.
I am the sarong trial, have asked your team about it, maybe they haven’t put your forward if your GI team do scans as a matter of routine? Mine do not, we only get a scan if new symptoms develop
which is tough because the body does have some as it mends ♀️
HAha, thanks for letting me off with the spring cleaning! Part of it is just having some control back and all those feelings that go with watching your loved ones do it all!
Yes Deans news is crap for him and what we all dread, it is great that he will get treatment that controls the cancer.
Home any side effects stay mild for you.
Take care

Hello CB
Glad that the dog wounds are healing, crumbs that’s awful, was the dog put to sleep?
Hopefully it’s scare tissue healing to tightly that is causing the lump feeling, is it when you eat? I still gets some aches around my R rib area, I have spoke to the team and I am advised this is the nerves knitting back together! It’s really tough, being positive and all that malarkey.
I was given my histology verbally I then found the letter to my GP on the NHS App. A month later I received a copy, it’s good to have to refer back to on those down days, grounds me.
I am doing ok, some good walks, little bit of swimming but also rest days, sometimes I push to much but overall I feel I am doing well, eating good, not to much or to quick and low carb, low sugar or I get D.syndrome or Hypo. These are a lot less.
Great news that you have put some weight on, your certainty doing something right.
Take care

Hello Julieanne
So glad you’re feeling well and normal after your treatment, what is your operation date. I agree, it is life changing and very humbling to say the least, it feels sad too that I have had to have this happen to me to get this place! It is what it is though, I am not likely the first or last to feel this way.
That sounds really hard to look after you and your parents but good that you can share with your brother.
Take care
Jennie
