Just an update on my chemo break. I had my last chemo at the end of August and the second of the 2 trial vaccines. My last scan was on the 23rd Dec and the results were reported to me by the trial doctors last Tuesday. All remaining lesions are stable, no growth, no reduction and no further spread, ...

Hi Val. I was diagnosed last Oct with stage 4, I had 19 rounds of chemo and my main tumour and liver mets have almost disappeared. I also completed a immunotherapy trial in September. I have had no chemo since August and my latest scan suggested that my remaining tumours are stable. Hang on in there...

Hi DW. I have just read the story about your mum, that is just amazing and I am so pleased that she is doing so well, it truly is an inspiration when you hear such good news.

Hi Kate, I am so pleased that you are keeping well and on the up. I had round 13 today, round 12 was horrid so I took an extra week to recover. What's the reasoning behind the 'no' radiation? Yes Ruth did pass on your number, are you around tomorrow for a chat? Theresa x

So lovely to hear you are doing ok. I had round 13 today and hopefully start a immunotherapy trial in XX next week. What are the reasons for them not wanting to give you radiation,? I am going to take a break after the trial, hopefully the trial will finish at the end of June. Yes, Ruth did pass on ...

Hi Kate, how are things going for you?

Keith, I am so very sorry, Kerry was so young and such an inspiration, I followed your story so closely. My thoughts are with you and your family. X
