Hi Cheryl. I’m so sorry to hear this. Don’t know what chemo you’re having but I found carbo caelyx much easier than frontline. Hopefully your good memories of your holiday will keep your spirits up. Xx
Thank you ,not sure what I'm having yet, taxol was dreadful , excruciating leg pain ,hoping for something else but will do what I have to . Going to print out holiday photos and put them on the wall ,my inspiration to get it done and get ready for next holiday .
Oh Poo! Sorry to hear that Cheryl but with your big pants on I am sure you will be a match for the sneaky blighter! Your hospital sounds ideal. Good luck and let us know how you get on. xx
Hi Cheryl, I feel really gutted for you receiving this news, yet at the same time very inspired to read that you’re going to kick it’s arse by getting treatment quickly and then get back to living your life.
So sorry to read you have recurred Cheryl, especially at the moment things are difficult enough. You sound very strong and positive though which is good and I’m sure this will help spur you through your treatment. Hope it all goes well. Best wishes, Jo xx
Aw Cheryl, so sorry to hear the bugger is back, hopefully you will get through the treatment ok. I wish you all the best, stay strong & I will be thinking of you Xx
Stay positive cheryl. I am always inspired by your positivity. My mother's RT PCR turned out positive (she's well so it was a shock for us). The onco said we will have to wait for the result to become negative before starting chemo. Struggle after srtuggle after struggle is killing me. But i i cant show it to my mother. I dont want her to feel down.
Keep on updating us. Sending you big and tight hugs.
Thank you for your kind words ,sorry to hear about your mum, just go one day at a time and push those bad thoughts out of your head ,not easy ,but easier with practice xx
Really sorry to hear your news, it's such a pain. I'm still on first line finished chemo in May and am on Avastin maintenance my CA125 is climbing and CT Scan says miniscule disease on the bowel so they are keeping a close eye, It's a bit too soon for more chemo I think so they'll have to put there thinking caps on. All the best and take care. Sue xx
Oh Sue I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble too , we're a right pair , hope they get a plan in place for you soon , try to enjoy your chemo free time .xx
Really sorry to hear that Cheryl....but so glad you're able to go straight into treatment. Hope everything goes smoothly for you and those pants go straight back in the drawer!
Thinking of you Cheryl, I think we all have a pair of those big girl pants, nobody wants to have to wear them though, wishing you good luck with your new line of treatment.
Sorry you’ve been given this news but your fabulous attitude will certainly help you through the process. I hope your treatment does the job for you so you can have lots more weeks on Dartmoor. Stay safe lovely, big hugs ❤️Xx Jane
Hi Cheryl, so sorry to see that your cancer has returned. I am on Zejula, but my hemoglobin dropped so I had a blood transfusion. Now, I am having blood work done weekly again to monitor this drug . Don’t like some of the side effects that come with it. I hope that you feel ok with your treatment. I live in the U.S. and I believe that I have a good doctor. It’s always try, wait and see what is next. It’s not an easy journey, that’s for sure. Take care.
Hello Cheryl, I always watch this blog but don't often comment. I have just restarted chemotherapy for the third time as my CA125 has been rising, sadly due to my CT referral being "lost" I am probably 4 weeks late restarting treatment and my confidence has taken a real knock. That said my resolve is as always strong and I will plough on through the next 5 treatments. I have already had carboplatin/paclataxol and carboplatin/caelyx and now on carboplatin on its own and coping ok. Isn't it the case that all we can do is be kind to ourselves, listen to our bodies but above all else NEVER EVER GIVE UP, I wish you well Cheryl, onward and upward. Xxx
Thank you for your kind and inspirational words , so sorry that you're going through it for a third time. Be kind to yourself is so true ,I'll plod own whatever it takes .Wishing you well with your treatment. Xx
