Re: Chemotherapy

The precis is that MRI is generally superior and is catching up with CT quickly but hospitals use both to have the best imaging possible.

I had chemo for my first cancer. Oh it made me so very sick. I couldn't even look at food.

This last cancer, I had the operation and they cut out nearly 1/2 of my bowel and I didn't need the chemo as they were sure they got it all. It was on the right side, so I didn't end up with a "bag" and I was sure glad about that......

Now I am just dealing with skin cancer, I am very fair skinned so it is a problem, but I keep on top of it.

All the best to all you cancer survivors. We have to keep fighting...

My oncologist believes that a positive mind leads to positive results....and all his patients have had a form of cancer. Fighting and believing you can beat it means that your brain will help the process.... that is why I think that feeling sorry for yourself never helps. We all have down times through the treatments but we need to look ahead of them and believe that we can get better!

Re: Chemotherapy

I seem to have had very few of the side-effects of chemo this time round - unless that is what is causing my fatigue and being out of breath after a short while. No hair loss although it's not growing, either.

I have the dosette box, full of steroids and my resolve this time is just to not eat so mindlessly when taking them. It's a known side effect of steroids but I needn't give in to it.

It sounds like you’ve been through the mill Blue, but you’ve survived! Good luck with controlling the skin cancer, that can’t be easy as we all like a bit of sunshine.
