Hi i feel the same with medical initials so any help very useful. I started fce treatment in february 6 cycles to date feel ok but have a chest infection that will not clear despite antibiotics. I try to be possible. Have just completer london marathon took 4 hours but hey i finished. I find there is life to be had along with ccl.

Many congratulations on completing the London Marathon! 4 hours sounds like a fast time to me - I could only do about 8-9 miles in that time - but then my walking is mainly on coastal paths and hills where stopping to admire the view is what it is all about. I am going to do the Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research in June, (walking rather than jogging this year) but that is just 5K - I hope to do it in under an hour!
