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 
Morning Jennie
Good to hear from you and that you're doing well.
Well done on sorting your house I've been doing the same whilst Andy has supervised 
bless him 
Andy has struggled through the first 2 sessions of chemo and on to round 3 today he's had a good weekend so makes the most of his good days.
Good to hear you have a plan to return to work , we're thinking it'll be the new year before Andy returns as he's a chef and will need a few months after chemo to build himself up again. But is something to aim for.
Have a good day Jennie and take care
Best wishes
Vonn +Andy
Xx
Morning Alasdair
I hope you have managed to get some sleep and the diarrhoea has stopped, have they given you anything to help?
You have completed 3 so well done.
Its not so much cleaning as in sorting, keeping or getting rid off. My enjoyable pastimes are endless. Yes walks in the woods and sunsets on the beach, the nearest one being a 5 min drive away. What about you?
Hope you day is restful Alasdair
Best wishes

Morning Vonn
Hope Andy’s treatment goes ahead today, round 3, well done Andy. Alasdair & Andy are tolerating the post op treatment so well, it’s nearly done.
How is Andy’s eating going when he feels ok to eat?
Take Care
Jennie
Morning Dean,
I hope the meeting goes well with your Oncologist, glad that you will be seeing your previous Dr who knows your journey better. he will be able to give you a better understanding of the treatment ahead for you. Fingers crossed it is not as viscous as FLOT can be.
How are you doing in yourself? Are you still feeling tired or has the B12 helped with that?
My eldest daughter is 40 this week, so wants to go shopping in Southampton (I hate shopping) 
, I’m hopeful with the nice weather everyone will be at the beach 
. I will make fun though, there’s build a bear, pose like a manakin and let’s try on some hats!
Do you like reading? I have just started to read a book called RADICAL REMISSION, surviving cancer against all odds. By, Kelly A. Turner, Ph.D. It was recommended by someone else on this sight.
Thoughts with you today Dean
take care x
Jennie
Thank you Alistair,
Andy had this due8bg pre surgery chemo and when they did it again on the day it was OK 
I think he'd quite like another week to build up again
Hope you're OK today
Best wishes
Vonn x
