Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Jane, Sorry the chemo was put off. But then it will give your poor body a chance to get a little stronger to do the next go around of chemo. I know it is very frustrating to put the chemo off when you only have two more to go. It feels terrible that the end of chemo is being prolonged. I understand that feeling. Hopefully you will feel stronger in between the chemo rounds. I am happy for you that your liver mets are responding. That is wonderful. I am sending a Prayer up that it continues for you. Yes the chemo smell is terrible. I thought we only smelled it on ourselves. Was surprised that your daughter can smell it on you also. Two more chemos and then hopefully you can have surgery and be done with it. Hopeing the best for you. Ingrid > I only have 2 chemo treatments left. Unfortunately, today's had to be > cancelled because of a low white count. We have it rescheduled for > next week.
