Gosh well done you for six hour shift I don't think I would carry that off. All the best for chemo Thursday I'm in your shoes on Friday if Thursday bloods ok.

Hi Tracey good luck with your bloods tomorrow I'm having mine done Thursday before the chemo which I thought was strange but I've rang them up and they have confirmed its right! And good luck Thursday will be thinking bout you xx

Gosh I do think you are great to work but dont over do it. Best of luck with your treatment

Hi there, couldn't do taxol, so carbo/Gem is my way forward x hair still intact but had it cut short anyway, constipation and just generally feeling tired really but seems to kick in on about day 4/5 it's no where near as bad as taxol from what iv heard x im on round 4 so 2 more to go then scan I expect xx 🌸 I eat fruit and water for breakfast then cereal about 3 hrs later I find it helps but I do crave crap with steroids x hope all good today 🌞

The best of luckTrace. I will be following in your footsteps in less than 2 weeks. Will have Carbo only so let us know how hair goes. Or will it be case of " hair today , gone tomorrow ! . I am in awe of you doing this while still working. You are a true heroine
