Staying positive
I so enjoyed dropping my daughter off at school today (she's in prep). First time I have driven since surgery so it felt good to be out again and be a "school mum", something I have looked forward to for so long. Also enjoying my last week with my long hair before chemo starts. Ah, hair...
I am pretty sure I have decided on the course of chemo the oncologist has offered. FEC/T. Pretty sure...still have until Friday to give her a final answer.
A week full of appointments - CT and bone scans, heart test, radiologist. It's all happening.

Thanks Christine. xo
It's good to hear of your positive experience of FEC/D. I have been reading mixed "reviews" so to speak. :)
Grab onto those special everyday moments with your daughter, family and friends. They will give you the strength to weather through the tougher days. I also had FEC/D (I think Docetaxel is just another name for taxotere) as my chemo cocktail. Everyone is different but I found I had more good days than bad during chemo so I hope you find the same. I made the most of those good days, even having 3 mini weekend 'holidays' to recharge my own and the whole family's batteries!
3 years down the track I am very healthy and enjoying the ordinary things that I now appreciate even more because of my experience with bc.
Good luck with everything. Take care. Deanne xxx
Hi! It's funny how this experience makes us appreciate the everyday tasks. Good to have a little bit normality come back when BC has dominated. Good luck with the next phase of treatment.
Take care Christine xx
