Hi Kylie,
Thanks for letting me know how your going and what a ride hey. I'm hoping that your second cycle is treating you ok so far. I probably passed you at some point at the LPCC on Tuesday, I had a big day there. FEC is a rough one I hear so I hope that the first day is getting better for you. Just think... Two down, only one to go! And I hear that D is a walk in the park after FEC. I hope it is for you.
I chose AC&T over the FECD. Both gave me the same survival rate stats so we will see how we go with it. As they say, everyone reacts differently, I'm hoping to be one of the smooth sailers.....fingers crossed!
Your message about those wonder fresh juices has made me thirsty. At the moment, I'm surviving on spinach, kale, mango, pineapple and banana smoothies. I love them. I also have a particular love of apple+carrot+Ginger juices. There is nothing better. With some ice thrown in....,mmmmmmm perfect for this heat wave we are having, bring on the wet already!!!
I'm a homebody too, which is surprising for a saggitarian but perfect for my partner who is the quintessential cancerian and funnily enough, will hopefully bode well for being stuck at home as a result of treatment. We will see how we go. Taking each day as it comes.... Yes... So so true!
I'm having a port put in tomorrow because I will be having 4 cycles of three weeks of AC and then 12 weekly cycles of D and I'm petrified of needles. That coupled with only having one good arm left with some semi nice veins sealed the deal for me. So... I'm forward surgery under a general and out tomorrow night before chemo on Monday. Might see you there sometime :-)
Take care,
Best,
Janina
