I am back

Hello ladies, i am back finally. So much has happened since last time i was here, on the non BC side of things, i have turned 50 and finally after 42 years living here become an Australian Citizen. On the BC side of things i had a very bad reaction to the Docetaxel that was meant for the last 3 rounds of chemo, my hands look like they have been burnt, and they felt like they were on fire for a good few days as well, so bad was the state of my hands the oncologist said there was no way i could continue with that treatment so it is back to FEC for me. I only have 1 more round to go so next week i am finally over the chemo side of treatment and i can finally get this pic line out, yay for having a shower without first putting a plastic bag over my arm.

They are giving me 3 weeks off then i start my 6 weeks of radiation so finally there is light at the end of the tunnel, just hope no train decides to come through the other end of this tunnel lol.

Hope everyone is keeping as well as can be hoped for.

Cheers SandyX

    Hey Sandy!  Congrats on the birthday, what a milestone. And congrats on the citizenship thing, too.  42 is meant to be the meaning of life, isn't it -- maybe that's why you got to it now. ;)
