HI Aussie, I have always said that that we need social secretaries to keep up with all the appointments. I wish you all the best with all the upcoming treatment.

Hi all
I forgot to let you all know what chemo I'm having.
FOLFOX6-Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin and Fluorouracil.
I think it's going to be pretty powerful.

Hi all
I have my Oncologist appointment on 22 October then will have chemo. I'm trying to sort out my finances at the moment. I'm going to apply for Sickness benefits through Centrelink, it's not much money but people have said it might be best to have 6 months off work. I won't really know until my chemo starts what exactly I'll be like and how sick I'll be.
It's quite stressful trying to sort this all out. I'm going to GP tomorrow to get a medical Certificate.

LOL Christine @ down there below somewhere. Believe me uterine cancer and its treatment certainly affects the bowels, I won't go into details! :pmsl:

Of course, we'd make u wouldn't we Janette/boss?!
It is down there around the same area anyhow!
Good luck.
Also if you have secondaries, don't forget the secondary section. We are all in the same boat in that section but we would have different treatments probably so that may be confusing for you. Also, different cancers metastasis in different ways.

I have no problem with that. People here have been a great support to me through my diagnosis and beyond of uterine cancer. And that was mstly when it was still just a breast cancer support group. It is so difficult to get good support for other cancers.

Hi all
Thanks you all for your support. Can I still keep this thread going as technically it's not a Gynaecological Cancer?
I'd like to let you all know about my journey with Bowel cancer and how I go.
