Thankyou I hope you get a good response I started to feel a lot better after my second cycle and then I started putting the weight back on that I had lost I have my 5th cycle on Friday I hope and prey that you get a good response please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing Lj56 

Thanks I'll definitely let you know how it goes. To be honest I haven't felt unwell throughout this whole episode, no weight loss, absoloutly nothing to suggest anything at all wasn't right.

So far so good with the after effects but let's see how it goes as things progress. 

Enjoy your lovely news and take care xxx

What fantastic news thank you for sharing it and instilling hope for others.  I was diagnosed a week ago stage 3b/4 adenocarcinoma, it took two months of tests, I guess you have all been through it!I can't wait to start my treatment 6 weekly!  Staying positive is the best way forward, I let my anxiety over take me straight after being told and it really was horrible.  So I have got a grip, got out of bed and started to live as if I don't have it!!   I went to see a wonderful woman who is a kinesiologist and she made me feel so much more positive.  She tested my whole system, all my organs d made adjustments.  She will be my health guide along thus journey, it is helping me feel I have some control over my healing  not just relying on the medical profession.   Sending all good wishes and healing thoughts to you all !
