Christie?

Has anyone heard from Christie lately? I think she is from India, but lives in Kenya, does that sound right? I realized that we haven't heard from her in awhile, unless I've missed her posts.

I just checked the members list. Her last visit was December 23rd. Hopefully she is celebrating the holidays or recovering from them. I hope she is doing well over there in Kenya.

hi ,

i just logged on today, my sister used to log in on my behalf and check the posts. I was not too well. the 7th and 8th round of chemo with taxotere was a bit hard on me, even now my ankles are swollen.

i dont seem to have much energy, so i was not able to visit the support group.

thanks so much for thinking about me and keeping a check on me, feels good.

i am about to start my radiation, i have few questions, please help me out. I will be writing it in another post, so please do reply.

Happy New year to you all.

love
christie

Glad to hear from you Christie. The taxotere was hard on me too. I finished the third week of November. I am now starting to regain some of my strength.

Christie had her consultation on Wednesday regarding the

Cobalt radiation therapy and hasn't checked in since.

Bill--maybe you need to "reach out" again?
