Post Chemo and Work
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has felt the same about their job or work as I do. My last chemo was in January. I work in a school system as a diagnostician.

HAPPY DAY! I am officially on a CHEMO BREAK!
I just left my gynecologic oncologist. He disagrees with my chemo-onc (who wants me to do 6 rounds of carbo-taxol again) and sees no reason why I shouldn't be on a break from chemo!! I have been on weekly taxol for my 1st recurrence for 10 weeks, and my mid-treatment-point CT/PET surprised everyone when it came out CLEAR,…

My oncologist actually said today "Well, if our goal is to still acheive a CURE for you"....(CURE???
It's wierd. From the very beginning right after my surgery, as my chemo-oncologist was encouraging me to push on with aggressive chemo and radiation, he always said "We've got one shot at curing you of this, because if it comes back we will only talk about managing your cancer as a chronic condition." This opinion that…
