Hello June,
Great to hear from you. Sorry you seem to be having a rough time of it all. I am doing well with the radiation therapy, had about 15 so far out of 30 treatments. My oncologist arranged for me to have the Neulasta every chemo. treatment so I did not encounter any of the infection problems. My cousin also encountered similar problems with her treatment as she was only permitted one injection due to the high cost. (I think she had her treatment at Traralgon)
We had a lovely Christmas Day here at Somerville with all the family (22 in number). Everyone bought a dish which I had specified so we had a great selection and far too much left over!
Last Saturday we had an 'End of Chemotherapy' Lunch which amused everyone no end - they have never heard of this before, but I was so pleased and grateful to be finished with chemo. and for the love and support I have received, that I wanted to show my appreciation. We had it catered for (spit-roast) where they come and cook on site and clear away the dishes etc. so it was a great time for us to share and chat.
I do wish you well with the rest of your treatment - there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am sure in a few months you will be feeling much better and this will be just a dim memory.
Best wishes,
Shirley T
