Harsh, but funny so no offence taken.

No experience, but good luck [emoji106] Sounds eminently treatable.

Sorry I've not been back to update this & thanks for the messages, especially the PM from my friend up in the north.

I am actually very fortunate in that I only need a low dose of chemo, two consecutive days every 4 weeks & my 2nd course comes up next week. I've had next to no ill effects, maybe I nap more in the afternoons but, as I've recently been made redundant, that's no problem.

I know so many people who have had it worse & I see some when I go for treatment, so I really am lucky. Not only have I had no side effects, I've also got my appetite & energy back. I've now got to be careful as I lost over 3 stone in 4 months & I don't want to put it all back on!

Great news, keep up the fight and try to stay as fit and healthy as possible as it will really help your recovery. Best of luck to you.
