Been to the Christie at silly 0 clock (8.20 😬) this morning for my 6 monthly check up. All appears to be where it should be, all my bloods weren’t back but I’m to ring on Monday if I want to know what my CA125 level is. I met a lovely new doctor who’s doing a rotation at Christies, he hails from Chicago, I thought I had had a lengthy journey for the appointment from near Lancaster 😂. He was lovely and said how much he likes our country and wished me a happy Christmas as I was leaving as he doesn’t anticipate seeing me again before February.
Keep as well as you possibly can be lovely people, hugs and love to you all ❤️Xx Jane

Bloods at 11.30. It was eerily quiet! All well, bloods good to go for 1st of 3rd line chemo Doc Rob says they're quietly confident it will do the job! Xx
Excellent, 🤞🏻 This line does the trick, they don’t tend to say they’re confident unless they really are?. I was in and out of clinic by 9.10 it really was very very quiet for a Thursday. Hope the treatment goes well and you have very few side effects lovely ❤️Xx Jane
Definite fact that fruit flavoured gin counts as one of your five a day 🍹! I’m off alcohol at the moment - Carbo/caelyx is my cocktail, so feel free to have one for me too!
He was so friendly and funny not my idea of gorgeous but a lovely person which is more important. I had a small one 🍸 as it was a school night but will try again tonight. Keep well lovely ❤️Xx a Jane
Thanks Lily-Anne, you’re right it is a relief. I hope you’ve been able to get some positive help with your breathing and are more comfortable. Take lots of care lovely ❤️Xx Jane
Three things I loved about your post and made me smile. 1. I grew up in the Chicago area. 2. My last name is Lancaster. 3. You are doing so well! I am so very glad for you and hearing you feel well and of course, your blood tests will reflect that! Hugs!
Wow! Some coincidences there 😊. I hope our country and it’s people are being good to you, I love the USA, not been to Chicago yet but it is on the bucket list and if the doctor I met yesterday is any indication of the people there I can’t wait to meet some more. I am very lucky that I am so well, I will ring on Monday for the results just to make sure. I hope you’re doing ok? Love and big hugs straight back at you ❤️Xx Jane
Yes thanks, chemo delayed again till next week, white cells and neutrophils boosted but platelets playing up now, no bell ringing for last Carbo Caelyx today for me!😏xx
Thank you, isn’t he a delight? It’s my first time meeting him, he’s so full of energy and positivity, I hope he’s still there in February. I hope you’re doing ok? ❤️Xx Jane
I usually tend to see either Dr Clamp (he was the lead on the trial I took part in) or the Prof although last time I saw a young doctor I’d not seen before. It’s good there are more new doctors helping us with this rubbish disease. Hope you’re doing ok? ❤️Xx Jane
Thank you Jo, I had a little drinkiepoo last night but might have a slightly larger one tonight, I really don’t drink much but there are some occasions that just need celebrating 🍸. I hope you’re doing ok lovely ❤️Xx Jane
Wonderful and uplifting news Jane....you made us all happy for you and you managed to inject a good dose of hope in each and everyone of us! Keep it up. Xxx
Hi again Jane. Thanks for asking. Hoping things may have improved for me as Scan beginning of August, after three Chemo sessions, showed some tumours not grown, some have and have another new one to join the three new shown in Scan at the end of April. Onco suggested stopping Chemo as my body struggling but I said definitely not ready to stop. After a chat, agreed I could have next three as just a chance the Chemo had held the stable ones stable. Had no.four the next day. Went for no. five last Wednesday but told need a blood transfusion first. Had it yesterday and hope for no. five this coming week.keeping fingers crossed 🤞. Love, Solange 😊
