Re: Belinda

Re: Gemzar

I was supposed to have H, G and C day 1, G day 8 and then a week off (3 week cycle). The G gave me really bad side effects - a rash round m...

Re: Moving on and just checking in

Just checking in - and sending hugs to you all. I need to update my profile, I think. Am currently in chemo again, Carboplatin and (ongoing) Herceptin. Last year Vinoralbine, the year before was Abraxane. All with Vitamin H! A couple of tumours seem to get away from the Vitamin H, and the chemo seem...
