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 
Hi Dean
How are you? 3rd round completed Dean, that is really good although you are probably feeling awful atm.
I saw the consultant today, I will start my mop up around the 7th May, so 10wks post up, I will start where I finished 75% and he will assess with me after each round, after the second round I will get an extra week before the 3rd, ( my request ). He said that it is a fine balance as the Chemo has already done its job along with the surgery, so it is important to assess at each round. The is a question mark with my L hand and foot with continued numbness? Not looking forward to restarting but being able to chat on here really helps.
Hope your ok and the Chemo hasn’t knocked you for six again, thinking of you, take care Dean.

Hello Cool blue
How are you doing with less food through the tube? What food are you able to eat now.
Do you have any numbness with your hands and feet, I saw the Oncologist today, he feels that if mine was related to the Chemo it is usually the tips of fingers and toes, mine is only left hand, 3 fingers and side of hand, left foot heel and toes? Likely more op related?
I will start my mop up chemo around the 7th May, so 10wks post up, I will start where I finished 75% and he will assess with me after each round, after the second round I will get an extra week before the 3rd, ( my request ). He said that it is a fine balance as the Chemo has already done its job along with the surgery, so it is important to assess at each round. Like you I am not looking forward to it but do feel in good care with team.
How are your walks going?
best wishes Jennie

Do you work, although I can work from home I have decided to stay of until the end of Chemo, I enjoy my job, mentally good for me but I feel I come first with this stage of the journey.
Have the flood waters subsided?
Best wishes Jennie
