A quick update.

Dear all,

Just thought I would give you a quick update. I have just completed cycle 5b and have agreed a two week break in treatment to allow time for a family holiday. Even managed to get travel insurance to cover me in France. Looking forward to a change in scenery & some quality time with my boys. I will start cycle 6 on return and then scan to assess tumour response. My Oncologist has already agreed my next chemotherapy regime for 2nd line treatment as we are only expecting this chemo (gem/cis) to hold growth after last results. I have had a few extra side effects this time, but I am plodding on regardless. I am keeping up with the goings on, on this site and also wanted to thank you all for your support and for those who have PM'd me. It is appreciated.

Take care of you & yours.

Bonsior

Dear Cibble, I am so glad that you are you are still going strong and fighting back and most importantly keeping up your morale and thank you for your post.

You are so courageous and an example to us all!

"Where's there's life there's hope" and "where there's a will there is a way!"

What a great idea to go on holiday and take a break.

Have a lovely lovely time with your family and enjoy! :)

All my Best Regards,

Dear Cibble,

You are a reminder to us all about how we need to focus on the important things in life. I found myself getting agitated with little things lately - then quickly realised how it wasn't that important.

Wishing you a beautiful break😊

Lots of love,

Pear
