Hello, my name is Donna and I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma stage 4 on April 11 2006. My first chemo treatment was April 13 2006 taxal/carbo. I am still pretty much in shock but trying to read and understand everything I can about this blasted disease. I am trying to ignore all of the statistic online, I plan on living for a nice long time!
I go for my 4th round of chemo next week, I felt really crappy after the 3rd round so I was wondering how much worse it will be this time? I also have diabetis and fibromyalgia.
After the 5th round I am going to have a petscan. I have never had one and I wondered what the machine was like? Is it like a cat scan or more like an mri? I am very claustrophobic so I am stressing over this.
I have just started to read the messages and this seems like a very informative and caring board. I am very glad that I have found this board.
Thanks,
Donna
