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 Vonn and Andy,
Heres hoping the 3rd goes well with any side effects, Andy has done so well to get this far.
Oh my a Chief, surrounded by food!! If Andy has any taste changes mine have now come back, probably 6 weeks after the last Chemo. Andy needs to stay away from any heavy lifting at work, the brain tells me I am fine untill my insides say no you are not! But I have learnt.
The sorting is good, it is probably linked to taking back control, I have had 11mths out of it.
It was so good getting rid of the paperwork and letters and handing over all the drugs to the pharmacy. For me the biggest thing has been my wardrobe, I have gone from a size 18/20 to a 12/14.
It does take a long time to recover physically, so Andy will need the time like you say to build his strength back, I want to feel mentally strong also, able to handle stress loads.
Take care, positive hugs for those side effects

We were so pleased to hear your latest news what a relief for you and your family so happy for you the fight goes on.
Andy had his 3rd chemo yesterday so currently waiting for the side effects 
his oncologist asked if he wanted to stop now or reduce the dose but he decided to keep going as he feels the side effects are manageable.
I was disappointed to hear there would be no follow up scan this worries me as he had no symptoms this time it was diagnosed through a blood test . Well have to ask some questions after the chemo.
Enjoy your day and we hope your treatment starts ASAP.
Best wishes
Take care
Vonn + Andy
Xx
