Ah im delighted Cath that the treatment is not too harsh on you. Enjoy your week off from treatment. My Dad always feels good on the week off and I hope you do too! I have already signed this petition although I must share it on my facebook page to try and drum up some more signatures!!

Takecare.. Rachel x

Hi Cath, so glad your getting on OK with the chemo , it is fairly well tolerated , but some people can feel very sick , mum gets on with it really well considering , in fact I think we all forget at times that she is now into her 4th month of chemo she still looks and feels well.I did pass onto her your comments on the face book page, you mentioned to my sister Adele that she should drink plenty of water to flush the toxins out , unfortunatley mums isn't a great fan of water!!! but we keep trying to get her to drink more.We have signed the e-petition from Ken it's important that every body spreads the word. Make sure you plan a treat for yourself next week when your off , in all of this treatment regime it's important to remenber yourself and that you deserve a break from time to time .Take care Nessy x

You are doing great Cath, I pray for you every day! I too am coming up to a break in my chemo after 5 rounds and I need it! Will be ready to go again in 6-7 weeks though as mine seems to be working well for me. My CA19-9 is down almost 1000 since December and I am feeling great!

No Fear, Only Hope, Love & Joy!!!!

Be good to yourself!
