Spontaneous break

I have been on weekly Taxol and have just had my 7th out of 18,  

As many of you understand it doesn't leave much time for anything but my husband son and I booked a break to Venice and wow we had a fabulous few days away, we are great planners, or should I say used to be great planners but now we just do it, the three of us had quality time together, we did lots of sight seeing and lots of laughs and yes our first time in a Gondalar, fab times and special memories I will never forget!!!

Now it's back to reality but feeling positive and ready to go again, CT scan booked for Monday to see how things are going, markers have gone down so oncologist is happy he says, but obviously waiting for scan results. Still got my hair but it is thinning a bit, but have thick hair so haven't noticed a big change so far, treatment is going well, just get abut tired and achy bones but have carried on working part time.

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend

Go you!  Venice is great. My husband and I managed a day trip from Lake Garda last May and thoroughly enjoyed our day there. We had a Gondola trip too.  Glad your treatment is going well.   Good luck with your scan. Ann x

Weekly taxol worked great to bring my CA-125 down, way down; then surgery, some more chemo, and now I'm "chemo free", for the last 4.5 months! Breaks are good when you can take them! Hang in there, wishing you all the BEST!

Thank you DesireeD and that's great news for you to, wishing you all the best to xx
