Start first round of chemo this wednesday as lung op had good result, 3 days then a spell until bloods are right. Best part is I don't have to be admitted this time around, only day centre, no hospital food or bad nights to put up with, hoorah! Three months will go pretty quick I hope, but been there before so know what to expect.

I hope it all goes well for you Jim - my brother starts chemo on Monday - diagnosed three weeks ago with bowel cancer, sent for MRI, found had gone to lymph nodes - got results last Wednesday, so they are moving pretty fast I feel, hope all is well for him too.

Your positive attitude will get you through the treatment. Especially if you can sleep in your own bed at home. Somehow I always think that helps the patient cope. I get the impression the cancer cure is worse than the disease.

Had 2 days of treatment so far, mostly ok except for lack of sleep due to hormone drug on day 1. I am now having a stem cell transplant in January from my previously harvested cells 5 years ago. regards and thanks for all your kind words. Jimsiron

G'day Jim, I just want to wish you all the very best during the course of your treatment, both the chemo and stem cell treatment, .......at 63 I was deemed "too old"! The medico's must consider you a good chance to contemplate the stem cell hey! Stay fit and well mate.

Finished first cycle today, feeling pretty good. Nurse fixed my sleep problem with a little white pill, I want more, they are bloody good for insomnia! Now I have to wait and see how blood counts and temperature fairs. If like the last time I can see trips in for transfusions, platelets and temp spikes, ahh the joy of it all. But I will get over it and the van awaits for us to get out and about. Next cycle is 20-22 dec, great xmas again. regards Jimsiron

Hi Jim.
all the best with your treatment,
I started my chemo april 2011 had to go to perth every three weeks for the iv treatment lasted six months in between the three weeks twice i had to go for
blood transfuison and ct scans and x rays,
now i am on tablets to control the cancer.
The little white tablets i sometime take to help with sleep are great.
All the best
