Hi Ladies, I've just come home from hospital, I have an overnight stay every fortnight while having chemo, I tell myself it's a stay at a 5star hotel! I've had good news, (an ending to my never ending story) my last blood count was 3!!!Yay!! This means I only have to have one more cycle of chemo & then just follow up blood test for a fair while!! The chemo will be over & done with by xmas!! What a wonderful gift!

Izzy, it's such a wonderful feeling when you get the new results each week of the HGC levels. If you do have to start the chemo (if the same as me) to start with was a injection in the rear of Methotrixate every 2nd day for a week & then a week off, I didn't have any side effects only tiredness, but I've been working still (part time). They started me on that treatment when my HGC counts leveled out at about 1080. Then a month ago my HGC stopped again at 80 so the oncologist started the new treatment (which is 8 different drugs), which has worked, the side effects can be more severe but so far I'm just a little more tired & my hair is just starting to fall out, (not much just thining), I've been needing an excuse for a new short funky hair style any way. The oncologist & fertilisation Dr have me on the pill (I still have my overies) to minimise the effect of chemo on my eggs, & say that chemo shouldn't do damage to them. I hope this helps & not scares you of what might come. It can be a real inspiration going into the oncology ward & seeing the people that cancer has effected, most of them look on the bright side of life & really put in prespective what I've been through & how lucky I am.

Lani, good luck with your scan. It was a little hard to start with listening to people talk about their children & expectancy, while I have to wait awhile now for that part of my life to come about I'm starting to feel clucky again & just can't wait to start a family of my own. I wish you all the best!!

I'll try looking up the link your telling me about, I'll let you know how I go.

Thanks
