Thank you to everyone who took the time to write to me and send me such supportive messages. It means a great deal. I'm sorry that I can't reply to everyone individually because the post chemo stupor is taking over at the moment but I just want to say thank you xxxx

Thank you for all of your lovely supportive messages
Snuggle up and watch rubbish tv xx
Hi Sian,
Sorry to hear you’re back on chemo and just wanted to send you big hugs and lots of positivity for this round of treatment 💕
I think watching rubbish tv under a snuggly blanket sounds perfect, recharge and relax ( and stay cosy out of this rotten weather ☺️)

HI, I HAD GEMZAR/CARBO AND IT DID WORK. ONE TUMOR DISAPPEARED AND THE OTHER WAS DOWN TO 3MM. I AM NOW OFF CHEMO AND ON LYNPARZA (PARP DRUG). JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THIS COMBINATION IS NOT AS BAD AS TAXOL/CARBO. THE MAIN PROBLEMS I HAD WERE WITH MY LUNGS. I HAVE COPD TO START WITH AND I'M SURE THAT DIDN'T HELP. ALSO, MY PLATELETS NEEDED HELP ALONG THE WAY. ALL WAS EASILY REMEDIED. I HOPE IT WILL DO THE TRICK FOR YOU TOO. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE GOAL AND REMEMBER WE'RE ALL PULLING FOR YOU!

Thank you so much Lee. I'm so glad that this combo was so effective for you. I'm sorry about your lung issues and platelets but so glad it was doable. I've been given filgrastim injections this week as my neutrophils were all over the place when I was on carbo caelyx last year. I'll keep my fingers crossed xxxx
Bless you Sian
I'm your chemo buddy at the moment too, onwards and upwards for us ,
Strength from each other.
Lots of love
