here we go again!

That's a blow. Fishing around for something positive, I came up with : at least with tablets you won't be needing to visit the hospital as often? I hope?

Wish you all the very best of luck - hang on in there. Don't overdo it on the patio.

Hi Dave ... stay positive ... x

Very best wishes

Oh Heck !! Dave it is hard to know what to say but know that we are with you in spirit, hope it goes well with you and sincerely hope you stay positive and strong throughout, hoping the side effects are few but the treatment does the trick, wishing you well, xx

Hope your new treatment goes well for you.
Best wishes

Hopefully you wont 'rattle' too much and you will have the best possible Christmas. Thinking of you and the family.

hi all and thanks for your collective best wishes. dave.

hi steragram, you are so right. taxi home after chemo £15 -20 as the first chemo session in any cycle is as follows;

taxi if my lift is not available as I have to book in by 08;30 hrs. session ends about 20;00 hrs.

second session of two I could have at my docs and it only lasts 30 mins. they have a chemo clinic.

once a week I had to go in and have the dressing on my picc line changed.

two days before the start of every cycle had to go in for pre- assessment.

how long is a waiting list. they don't have TV's in hospitals for nothing.

hi seaburn,

the prednisolone dose, which is a steroid is usually 100mg. and the tablets 20mg so take 5 or 5mg so you have to take 20.

first chemo regime I was on had 20mg tablets and the last chemo regime I had 5mg tablets.

I'm sorry to hear this news. I hope the treatment goes well. Try to stay positive.
