Here's to my journey!

Thanks everyone for the positive messages and your concerns. Still have many more tests to undergo but keeping positive. Now that the date for chemo has been set my surgeon ( who I saw today for more aspiration of fluid) is set to see me the day before so he can check how I am traveling as I've had such a rough time). I also have to see a dermatologist to determine what type of EB or "cotton wool" syndrome I have ( which is a huge complication particularly with surgery and healing) because one of the side effects can be a skin rash. I am having 6 sessions all told - 3 x FCE ( I think that's what it's called) and 3 of taxomol. Has anyone experienced these agents before? What were they like? Did you suffer side effects? I realize of course side effects differ from person to person but I'm curious to know... I'm writing this whilst sitting outside my GP's office as mum and dad (both in their 80's) are having a consult. Mum is getting more fragile and now dad has trouble with his kidneys so it's all a but of a worry. Still we Soldier on and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to Christmas and the end of this lawful year! Hope this finds you all well. Luv H
