Hi Linda
TY for reply. What sypmtons did you have prior to dignosis? and did you say you are also lllc? I had the second part of my treatment yesterday which was the gemicitibine on its own, I now will have two weeks off before next one! I too have a very supportive sister and would be quite lost without her. I made sure she and her daughters and my daughter all had tests for OC once I was diagnosed. Thank God they were all clear. Its so important to catch OC in the early stages and I feel very strongly that doctors need to be educated in looking for the signs instead of fobbing symptons off to either age or IBS. In my case they thought for a while I had asthma! I knew I did'nt as I was very active, walking dogs etc, never suffered with getting out of breath or anything, in fact I was always very healthy. I do believe stress plays a contributory part because if you are stressed your immune system gets low and I think thats when this horrible desease can take hold. Now I try not to get stressed about things and believe your health is more important than anything else, if you hav'nt got your health then what good is anything else. I am fortunate that I have a very close family and its their love and support that keeps me positive. TY for info of other sites to view, will take a look later. Hope you are feeling well today, when is your next treatment date?
Very best wishes,
Linda
