I am going to my 1st chemo right now!
Hello dear ladies, its been a while since my last post. As some of you know I did a genostic test CTC and I am super glad I did it as my plan of FEC and Taxate was not going to be the most effective ...

Hello my dear friends, thanks a lot for your good energy and constant love, it works!!!! Im feeling well!!!!!!!!! I went last Thursday thinking this is what I need to do to get healthy soon, I was there, relax, listing at my mantras (the ones I heard only 8 months ago when I had my 1st baby boy Gaspar) and smelling lavander...It went well, I am only tired and I have a very sensitive scalp, my stomach feels a bit funny, but I cant complain, I am ok!!!
Well, genostics is an expensive (but super important!!!) test for chemosensitivity, they only take blood from you, and they separete the remaining cancer cells in your blood stream and tried every chemo drug to see which one will be most effective for "your particular case"
I would strongly suggest to check it before starting chemo!!
Additionally, Gawler Foundation is an amazing place to get support, comprehension and a better understanding about this sickness, and Ian Gawler story is a very inspirational!!! The book is WONDERFUL!! I am glad you are reading it!!
Me and Amanda are enjoying attending to the program and I am sure you ladies would love to go, it is around $400 but they offer bursaries for people a bit short on money!! and again, it is worthy!!
Sam I am thinking it could be very good for you as well, for my understanding is not for people doing chemo, it is for everyone facing cancer!!!
Love to all of you and again THANKS FOR BEING HERE!!!
