the honeymoon is over.
Hi all, well its been a very quiet couple of weeks for me, I started on the navalbine after a washout period on xeloda and as you know I felt fantastic, however the reality is as the navalbine kicked in things changed, as they do!!, so at the time decided I needed a little break to get my head around things, metastatic cancer is something that you learn to live with, it doesnt happen in a few months more like a couple of years, but you can live with it,its just a matter of changing things around, you may not be able to do all the things you used to, but you can work around that,so her I am again, at seems we have a few new members, welcome ladies, to the forum no one wants to join, but we are a pretty relaxed bunch here and open to all questions and requests for information on anything, I am now 5 and a half years after my diagnosis, which was stage 4, mets to liver and bones straight up, not what I wanted to hear I can tell you and certainly not how I envisaged spending my retirement years, yet here I am, still here ,and about 7 chemos down the track!
Its going to be a blistering hot week here in South Australia so it will take all I have to just keep cool, thank goodness for aircon!!
My hands and feet are almost back to normal although I still do not have full dexterity of my hands, thanks to hand and foot syndrome but it is getting better,{thanks xeloda} Im not grumbling, no point, my chemo brain is a lot better so will see how my journey on navalbine goes, blood tests every week and then a monthly, back to see oncologist on Thursday and he is talking about increasing my dose, such is life!, still I am here, and making the most of every day, regardless, it might only be lazing around one day or going shopping but I am more clear headed and am looking at some form of short break for myself and partner, at the moment, anywhere thats about 15 degrees will do! So ladies thats it for me, for now,
Accept responsibility for your life,
Know that it is you who will get you through,
where you want to go, no one else,
