Hi Dai

It's good to hear your pain is easing. Hopefully it'll soon be gone completely. There's nothing worse than constant nagging pain. We've all got our personal battles going on but if we stay strong and positive we will improve.

Wishing you pain free

Andy

Hi all
Well I'm nearly at the halfway mark and I'm feeling ok. Like Bridget said and all the nurses keep telling me my bad time could come after discharge and I have to be very vigilant and monitor my temp regularly. Hopefully it'll be ok because I'm having at least 2 cycles.

Hoping everyone is ok
