Had second chemo on monday and saw oncologist on Wednesday. He says things are going the right way. CA 125 dropping and lump shrinking. Feet and legs aching now, preventing me from sleeping. Still things can only get better so look forward to tomorrow.
Had a lovely meal on Thursday at The Barley Mow in Cowbridge when we eventually found it!!!! Way out in the sticks but worth the effort to find it.
Love

Glad things are going in the right direction Jean. All the best.

Hi Jean
Glad things are going well for you. I think the pains in the legs and feet go with the territory, unfortunately. Glad you had a lovely meal, it's the little things and treats that keep us all going.
Take care.
Love LInda xx
Hi Jean
Your good news is so nice to hear, hope it continues to go well for you. I have had chemo 4 of 6 and have some leg pains but they havent got any worse as the chemos have progressed
Love Brenda xx
I suffer badly with restless legs and chemo seems to have made it worse. I can cope as things can only get better. I am going out for a short walk in this lovely sunshine to stretch my legs. Lol.
Love to everyone

Good news, Jean about the response to the chemo, not the legs, though ...... Still, all in a good cause, heh? 
Hope things continue to respond
Love Wendy xx

Dear Jean
I'm really pleased to hear the chemo's having a good effect - worth the pain in the legs. However, I just wonder whether you could ring your GP, oncology nurse, or Oncologist to see if there's anything you can take to make the pain diminish. It sounds very uncomfortable.
I'm glad to hear you got our for dinner on Thursday. A good recommendation. I don't know that pub but will have to look it out!
Take care - hope the pain goes away very soon.
Lots of love Annie xx
Hi Annie
Yes I am going to phone unit tomorrow as the pain is getting intolerable now. No let up at all even though I've taken ibuprofen. Still it's one day closer to end of chemo. Lol. Still being positive .
The Barley Mow is supposed to be in Cowbridge but its way out but really worth a visit. Our daughter bought the offer on Groupon and couldn't go herself so passed it on to us.
Love
Jean. Xx
Hi Jean
Soo glad to hear the chemo is working. Here's hoping you manage to get the pain resolved soon.
Love Mary xx
Hi Mary
Thanks I am waiting for the GP to contact me re some painkillers. Contacted chemo unit first and they said its one of the side effects of carbo/ taxol. Oncologist asked me on Wednesday if I had problem but it didn't come on till Friday!!!!! Ah well onwards and upwards.
Love
Jean. Xx
GP gave me Tramadol for the pain and advised me to contact onc re taking Amitriptyline. Thinks its a better option than strong painkillers. Took a Tramadol and won't be taking another!!!! Wow did it make me spaced out, never felt so weird in my life. Lol. Oh and it really didn't help that much with the leg pain. Legs not too bad this morning, just tingling which is easy to cope with.
Love to you all.
Jean. Xx
I'm lucky I haven't had too many leg problems but just catching up with blogs as away last week, and just wanted to say I love your wig and all the posts about the blonde one fabulous xx
Can't lose my sense of humour can I?? Girls still haven't forgiven me for the blonde wig. He,he.
Love
Jean. Xx
