Just found out today that this chemo hasn't worked . New chemo in tablet form starting next wed. Afraid of running out of treatment options.

Hi Lemrac

I was sorry to see that the treatment hadn't worked & you were starting new chemo last week. It's a shitty stick that you have been handed for sure; I just want to give you a big hug and let you know that I'm thinking of you. X

Hi Lemrac,
I too have recently been diagnosed with spread to spine and pelvis.
Am on chemo[Taxol]
All the gory details on my other posts!
I too have scans coming up to see if the last three months of Taxol have worked at all.
Very best of luck with your scan.

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone doing well. Just back from hospital for scan results. Unfortunately there was activity again so I've to change chemo. I start next week! I'm going away for the weekend so I'm going to be good to myself Image removed.
But anyway hopefully this one will work and the next scan will be more positive Image removed.

Hi all,one of those nights where sleep is refusing to come. Was just reading over old posts. Hope you are all doing well.
I've just started a new hormone treatment so fingers crossed it will work well. Had radiation on spine recently as was having back pain. Feeling good again.
Found a site recently (American ) where woman who reach 10 years after secondary diagnosis tell their stories. Have decided i am going to be wiring my story in it some day! !!
have a good summer ladies.
