  • Vicky

    i know how scary it seems and that word Caner means a death sentence. do you have a team with you yet or had your MTD meeting 

    Chemo can be very scary I know I broke down when mine started but the nurses are there to help you and give you good advice  . Your family will be a great support to you don't be afraid to talk to them all the way on this journey . They will be on this ride with you and of course use this forum a lot of people been through the same and very journay is and will be different.

  • I know how your feeling  x I'm just on my for my first chemo session  x   keep your chin up .x 

  • Hi Vicky

    I'm so sorry you're on this journey thst really no one wants to be on. I had my first round of FLOT at thend of September 2022 and all I felt was highly anxious. The treatment was not easy but my son was my guiding light. I focused on him and watching him grow up that got me through the darkest of days. What is your treatment plan? There are a number of supports out there- various charities around cancer and of course Macmillan.  This forum certainly provides support for all of us. 

    Take care

  • Yes it’s all moving fast

    diagnosis last Wednesday, oncology app yesterday and chemo and blood transfusion Friday 

    thank you for Your words Nic nac 

  • Chemo and blood transfusions Friday 

    6months of chemo 

    and tablets 2x a day 

  • I hope it goes well 

  • Thank you.  Not a good start though  my appointment  letter says 10 o'clock  but on there list it's 11.30  . These things happen  x 

  • All the best Vicky.

    I'm 40 with the same diagnosis including mets to liver. I finished 6 cycles of CAPOX in April.

    If you are on the same regimen, then it is tough but focus on the extra time its hopefully giving you. That and my 5 and 1 year old kept me going.

  • Ahhh bless you, sending positive energy
