Hi Vix, I met a elderly lady at chemo the other week who said she had been on Abraxane now for 15 months ! I asked her how she copes and her reply was its just a day out from the retirement village love. I thought there are many thing I would like to be doing than attending the oncology unit week after week. I really look forward to having that week off, but it goes too quick! She did have a good head of hair which she said has grown back, but not shiney and healthy like it use to be. My blood test so far have been good and I haven't needed a blood trans fusion. My tumor markers last week came down from 98 in Dec.and are now sitting at 62. I do get very lethargic especially following chemo. My husband says I m like a bear with a sore head on the Wednesday. I think it's just frustration, not having the energy to do what you want to do. I have been on a few different treatments in the past 5yrs including Abraxane 5yrs ago. Well I done enough complaining and I guess we are lucky to have treatment to keep us alive. I have suffered from anxiety in the past and had to seek medical help when I was on holidays in Cairns a couple of years ago. I have a good C.D from the cancer counsel which really help when I feel the anxiety coming on.Well enough about me. Wishing you all the best and will be thinking of you. Wendy h
