I have had my tumour removed and was pleased that it was cleanly excised and that it was found early. However it was fast growing and had found it's way to one of my lymph glands - so chemotheraphy ...
Dear Sue
My first thoughts to you are "Whoa - slow down girl" That's how I interpreted your blog. You seem like a very busy person. I was too but now work is the last thing I ever worry about. I am presently having radiation then when I return home (I'm 8 hours by road away from home) I have to wait 4 weeks to commence chemo. I have had radiation before (4 years ago) but this will be the first time for chemo so I am no expert. However many of my friends have had chemo and I have a pretty good idea what to expect. Sure everyone is different but I'm looking at the worst scenerio whilst trying to arrange my commitments around chemo. That way all the good outcomes will be a bonus. It appears that the best ratio for chemo treatment, to gauge your life on, is first ten days are awful then the next eleven days are pretty good. This is based on a 3 weekly cycle. Take care and good luck XLeonie
