I had a break from Paclitaxel (supposed to be weekly Feb to end of August) and had an amazing holiday! Hubby, mutt, and I went off in our campervan from home in Essex up & down the UK.
N. Yorkshire (photo is me at RHS Harlow Carr Garden), Ayrshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, and home. I stayed reasonably well and am so glad I did it!
I had a CT scan before I left and got the result today and there’s been no changes. I won’t see my oncologist until next Wednesday but I just wanted to give you all hope that life can still be fun with OC 😁
Good Luck to you all,
Iris🤗

Great to hear. I am on the weekly taxol regime. The CA125 is going down and I have a scan in September. Not sure when I will have a break from it . I guess it will depend on the scan. So good that you could go out and have fun and get your life back again. You go girl!
Hi Iris, thank you for such an uplifting post, so glad to read you’re enjoying life to the full. I need to read things like this right now as I’m feeling so anxious about travel.Wishing you all the best
Fab photo, you look so happy. Glad you had a good holiday and received good news on your return. Best wishes and I hope you are planning your next break!xx
Well done you! You look so glamorous! So glad you had a wonderful trip and sounds like it’s done you good. Great news on your scan results too. Best wishes moving forward Claire xx
Dear Iris, Love the picture! I'm glad your break went well and even better the beast is at bay. Going away does the power of good. I didn't have a great break and actually feel better now I'm back on chemo but that's just one of those things. I'm going to North Yorkshire on Monday for 4 nights and will definitely be going to Betty's! Take care Sue xx
A lovely post to read. Thank you. It occurred to me we mustn't be afraid sometimes to ask for breaks or adjustments to treatment regimes if it means we get a bit of 'normal' 'Joy' that is a medicine in its self. Onward and upward for you. Xx
What a stunning photo, you look amazing and I just love your jacket and scarf and openly covet them 😂. Thank you for sharing the details of your trip, sounds like good fun has been had by all 3 of you and especially for sharing the excellent news that your CT scan shows stability. I think that, where possible, it’s important to have a complete break from the rigmarole of scans, hospitals and all the associated shenanigans, good for the body and the soul. Hope you tried a fat rascal at Bettys? Take care lovely lady ❤️Xx Jane
So glad you had such a wonderful time on your break from chemo. You do look as though you were really enjoying yourself. Good news on the CT scan and I wish you all the best as you move forward. Jackie x
