Scan

[Ladyinred123]

Hi,

My scan appointment is through for Wednesday this is nice and quick. I am scared but once I have forced myself to the hospital I feel better.

It is five months today since I finished chemo. Does it have to be six to start carbo/plaxil again.

Thanks Nicky xxxx

my onc. wasn't sure if it was 5or 6months but still pusued it My suggestion is that you push for it(!) Chris x

Nicky, think my reply might have been moderated out(!) From my experience suggest you push for more if you would like it. Dates at the end are not totally precise....love Chris xx

Hi chrissapam

Don't want to go back on chemo so soon, did you go back on chemo quite soon and do you know how I can push for drainage as my stomach is huge.

Best Wishes

Started carboplatin and caelyx between6/7 months after 1st line following a second opinion including a scan which showed some progression. Coped with it well relatively speaking but did follow instructions re mouthwashes and moisturiser to the letter. Hardly any hair loss either.

Your cancer nurse should help you with the ascites if that's what you think it is...do make a fuss(!) I went to a/e but that was before diagnosis. Had to have it drained twice before they could start treatment as I kept being sick.

I see you live relatively near me. Where are you being treated? love Chris xx

Poole hospital. In the years I have lived here (1973) I have never heard a bad word said about it.

The views are a bonus of course. Looking out over the harbour.

I have heard from my cancer nurse who is going to ring on Monday about a drain for ascites.
