Re: anyone takes a treatment break after chemo?

by Jfosntampa on Tue Mar 29, 2016 9:04 am

I took a break after six months of the RVD regimen and the stem cell transplant (autologous). The numbers after transplant were not great, but after a year and half of being sick, I choose to get busy living before I get busy dying. I did not want to be sick when my two older girls gave birth to each of her first child, one girl and one boy. I wanted to travel without the tether of chemo appointments.

I'm doing ok, I just seem to catch every cold, flu or virus going through the area. It has been a good decision for me.
