    Chemo has been canceled

    I am going to my 9th out of 12 treatment tomorrow. my oncologist called today and recommended we cancel the last 3 the risk of contracting The virus outweighs the benefit of finishing the last 3 treatments. Has anyone else had their treatments canceled or postponed due to the virus? Hoping this is the right decision. 

    Bummer

    There are others that haven't finished the whole rounds either.  I'm so glad you will have had 9 of the treatments.  Wishing you the best.

    I'm so sorry Sandy, I

    I'm so sorry Sandy, I understand how rough that has to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    I had my CT and colonoscopy appointments cancelled due to the virus, No reschedule as of yet, as they have no clue when this will all be over. I'm ok with it as I did get the all clear from the bloodwork alone, and the CT was just to calm my nerves. The colonoscopy can wait a little while as it wasn't critical. I'm sure when this is said and done the docs will be playing catch up for all the critical people that had to miss appts.

    I'm going stir crazy. My two grand daughters have been out of school for a month and it's still up in the air if they are done for the year.  Have you ever been trapped with TWO teenage girls? Oh my word... The name calling... The bickering... The DRAMA...  Luckily we live out in the boonies in Louisiana, so they can be threatened with outside chores if they don't settle down. LOL

    Everyone is fine, no signs of the Rona amongst the entire family, and we all count ourselves lucky. My daughter won't let me go anywhere, and I think she's being a little over cautious, but this too shall pass.

    I wish you all good health, stay safe, and lots of virtual hugs and kisses.

    Grandkids

    Yes, my grandkids are out of schools and driving their parents crazy.  Our school has been cancelled for the year, but it has to be made up now through home schooling.  I'm thinking if that was me teaching my kids their lessons now, I'd be lost as education has changed so much through the years.

    Just get the scans when you can and look forward to great results.

    Put those girls to work, it keeps them out of trouble LOL.

    I wouldn't stress too much

    I wouldn't stress too much about it.  Frankly, I'm a bit surprised 12 cycles are still being used for first line chemo with our disease.  There was a large study where a determination was being done to see if 6 cycles was as effective as 12.  From what I gather, the additional cycles wasn't as beneficial over the potential long term side effects.  I have heard some practices have gone to 6 cycles over 12.

     My partner of 30 years

     My partner of 30 years passed last Friday and being stuck inside alone is pretty hard to cope with. I wasn't allowed in the nursing hone so couldn't support him in his last few days. I am strong and will cope but it sure is dang hard. Hang in there everyone.

    Sandy

    I am so very sorry to hear this. I can't imagine how sad you are feeling and then all of this on top of it. It's just not right sending you a virtual hug since that's all we are allowed.

    All Is Well in Upstate NY

    Husband had his follow up colonoscopy in Albany April 1. Was a bit nervous with all that's going on in the world. He was only appt. for this day so all worked out well. So far NED and doctor said to come back in 2 years.

    So sorry for your loss Sandy. I know how difficult this must be. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Stay safe all.
