Taxol

hi all hope everyone is well. Today is my happy day. Today is my last taxol, woohoo. It's been a long six months since chemo started, some days I thought I cant do this but pushed through these thoughts and have come out the end. It's not a position I or anyone else for that matter want to be in, but have come out the other side. Hair is starting to grow back think I need to take bets on what colour it will be, whether it will bestraight or curl lol. Next stage is to have my lymph nodes removed that's happening on 9th October, then radiation to follow. To all who are just starting the journey may it go as well for you as it has for me without to many side effects, you will come out the other side. I wish everyone well and will keep In touch as each stage comes about. I made it through woohoo.  Glynnis ??????????

  • Congratulations on coming through so well!

    My Taxol was halted after nine treatments due to peripheral neuropathy and I felt I was walking on clouds to have that behind me. Out of the gulag. So I know how you feel.

    Then I had six weeks of radiation which went smoothly - some skin blistering and some fatigue, but not too bad.

    It certainly is good to have these intensive treatments in the rear vision mirror. I share your joy!
