Hi Valerierose I was diagnosed in August with bowel,lung,liver cancers my first chemo was evil they reduced it by 25% now I can tolerate it I have a pic-line let me know how you get on I'm on number 7

LITTLEKITT

How did your chemo go today (if you feel up to telling us)?  Hoping it went okay.

Welcome Valerie

Thank you everyone for your replies.  I’m not feeling too bad at the moment but I think the first three days on steroids helps.  When I arrived for my chemo yesterday I had good news and bad news (good news really).  I had a gene test which turned out normal (only 30% chance of this) so I had extra targeted drugs.  My normal four hours on the unit turned into six and a half hours!  Not complaining really lol!  

Hi and thanks for your response Chrisie.  My reply to everyone seems to have gone to AdrianW, I’ve not worked out how to respond to everyone in one go yet!  

I think my Hickman line is probably a picc line.  I have to nurse a little pump in a bum bag for 46 hours every two weeks.  Do you have this same treatment Littlekitt?  

It went pretty well but I’m still wired up until tomorrow afternoon when I have my little pump removed.  I think the steroids for the first three days are a big help.  

Don't feel you have to reply to us indivdually; anybody who is conversing with you will read all the posts.  I am not good at sorting technical things out either but nobody is going to be offended if you reply to one person and include everyone else in the response.  Keep on keeping on; glad it wasn't so bad.  Good on yer!
