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 
Good morning all,
How is everyone doing? I am now in my 4th week since my last Chemo so starting to feel a lot better, still reacting PM and early nights. Pottering around more, I joined a health club at the weekend,
managed two 17m lengths just about, the jacuzzi was fab and the steam room which was lovely for lungs. I did feel quite self conscious about my body image, chicken legs, no bum. BUT I gave myself a good talking to. It felt good to take this step. Next aim is to get back walking, I was doing this Golden mile at the beach, there and back before starting the chemo again. It’s like that song, I get up again, not gonna keep me down??
Does anyone use/ know about travel insurance?
Best wishes all, virtual hug

Hi Jennie
That is great you managed some swimming. I know what you mean about the chicken legs and no bum syndrome. I'm not going out on the road yet I'm going to cycle indoors on my spinning bike till the muscles return!
B12 injection tomorrow so hopefully that will give me a boost.
We just have to keep going don't we
Best wishes
Dean
Hello CB
If I went in the sea it would be in a wet suit, in UK waters anyway. Yes I was pretty self conscious at the pool but just thought, nope, do it Jennie. I do have a swim suit though so only 3 scares can be seen and the one on my neck.
We are having a family holiday, Florida in May, probably a couple break somewhere, Croatia is somewhere we have both wanted to go. Where are you sailing round for a month, world tour? Very nice. Thanks for the insurance info, I will take a look.
Well done on your 2 mile walks.
Take care Jennie
