    Sorry it is so hard
    When I feel like it is too much I think of you, the cisplatin is harder than the carbo.I have to go tomorrow for the first infusion of the 6th (last) round ! I am trying to cheer myself up by the fact that it is almost done but the last round was so horrible I just don't want to go tomorrow, but I will. But I really need a break. So do you and Im sure many more of our teal sisters. maybe this next round for us will be easier.

    Maria,
    how many more do you have to do? I can't believe you are still on this chemo. I am so sorry. It is the worst, spelled HELL.

    I am glad to hear you are stable. You always have such a positive attitude and are such an inspriation to me!!!!

    Hugs,
    kathleen

    Hi Kathleen
    Thanks for the kind words.... I have no # of how much longer I have to stay with cisplatin/gemzar. I guess I'll stay on this routine for as long as it's working. I'm staying stable with variations on my ca-125'S, small ups and downs, but my last ct scan showed my tumors reduced by 2/3s. I'm not a candidate for additional surgery at this time, so this is kind of my new normal. Like you, I'm thrilled to be alive and try to suck up all the joy I can squeeze in. YOU are an inspiration to me, you're such a fighter.
    (((HUGS))) Maria

    Chemo seems relentless
    I am feeling just the same as you at the moment. I am on my 4th chemo and I sometimes wonder WHY I keep going back to have some more. The side effects - nausea, constipation and reflux is getting me down and I am losing my positive attitude.

    You are not alone - we are all doing this together for the same reasons. One day they may come up with a much better way to keep us alive. We will cling onto live for as long as we can. We all have lovleing friends and families we don't want to leave. We take each day as something to be glad of and I often feel happy that I am still here eventhough I feel un-well.

    Take care everyone on this board and never give up :) Tina

    So sorry
    I am so sorry you are going through so much I am praying for you all the time. I remember how it was when I was on the taxol/carbo and avastin and do not look forward to going back to chemo. I am still dealing with the side effects of the last chemo but soon might be going back on chemo and it scares me. Keep up fighting it is people like you that make me fight hard because if you can do it so can I.

    Love, Hugs, and Prayers

    Sorry to hear what a hard time your having, like we all say hang in there. I've been on 7 chemo drugs now non stop except for time just recently off for surgery. We do it because we want to live. I truly hope it gets easier for you, you ladies have been there for me so so so many times. Prays and hugs Kathy
