Can't sleep!

Just wanted to let you know what I was told as to why some of us have 2 different types of chemo. I was told that changing the chemo drug can result in a better strike rate against the cancer (if some don't get knocked off by the first type then the second one might knock them better). Also I was told that it is easier on the rest of your body to change chemo drugs and therefore have different side effects. It is your right to receive a copy of your pathology results and have them explained to you. Sarah is right though about not trying to interpret them using Dr Google. I found it helped me to get through the treatment when I understood exactly what was being achieved by each bit but not everyone finds this helpful. My oncologist was the main person who explained my treatment in detail but we did have to ask and she said not everyone wants to know. Hope you find AC a liitle more bearable. We all respond differently so fingers crossed for you, it's about time something got a bit easier for you! Deanne xxx
