Congratulations. I have done my 8 chemo treatments for which I had a port inserted in my chest. I was wiped out for a few days after each session which I had every 2 weeks. Certainly not for sissys, but managable. I am now on my 7th radiation session which I have every day along with chemo tablets. At least no more needles being stuck in my chest. Making good progress, I think, as my blood test cancer indicator is down from 6 to 2 and the tumor has shrunk by 2.5cm. I am so looking forward to getting back onto my mountain bike! Staying positive and looking forward to living a normal life again in the not too distant future.

Well done, Brian. Keep going and you'll soon be back on your mountain bike. I've just done 6.5 hilly miles on an e-bike loaned to me, the first ride since my op, and the thrill of getting going again is brilliant.

im going for my fifth chemo they do make you feel bad mentally and physically
