Third Line Chemo.

11 Replies

Hi Ladies

After meeting with oncologist today for Scan results it was decided to begin third line chemo, (Carboplatin).

Lymph nodes show a small increase yet again but omental thickening progressing. Options watch and wait for another three months or begin chemo, so opted for chemo.

Hopefully kidney function test etc will be okay and we can proceed as planned.

Hope everyone keeping as well as possible.

Gosh Janet,

That all sounds awful. I’m so glad to hear that you opted for treatment instead of waiting for god knows what to happen next.

But I wish this damn cancer wasn’t so relentless.

Seems like we’re alway picking ourselves up off the floor and getting ready to do battle again.

Keep up the fight,

Laura

Thanks Laura, felt good being off treatment but don't want to wait another

Three months. Already slight delay cos Scan had not been reported.

Hope all goes well with your plans for treatment

Best wishes

Wishing you well with the carbo, glad to hear you started treatment rather than watch and wait. I have just done a 12 week watch and wait and will be starting treatment very soon .

Onwards and upwards 😊xx

Good that you had 9 weeks free 😊 . I found it was good to have a rest from treatment and get loads more strength ready for whatever is thrown at me 🥊
