Got my Tykerb/Xeloda
 

Just wanted to let you know that I am no officially on Tykerb/Xeloda (as of this morning.) I went to my onclogist's office yesterday and picked up my prescriptions. I'm fortuante that I have good insurance coverage as my co-pay was $40.00 for both drugs! I began my Tykerb this morning (5 pills) on an empty stomach, then about an hour after eating took my Xeloda (3 pills), just nowate dinner and will shortly be taking my Xeloda again (3 pills). It's a lot of pills but hopefully it's just what I need to get to NED

I went and did a lot of running around today so that I am now prepared for any side effects that I may get. I got the Udder Cream along with socks and gloves. I also picked up some immodium and Miralax (can't be sure which way the pipes will flow), picked up my anti nauseau mediation, and of course stocked up on things for the bRAT diet if I need it.

Brenda has been such a wonderful help!!! I fell that's she's my mentor leading me down this path of unknowns. She is making me feel quite confident and is extremely encouraging. I can't thank her enough.

I'll keep you posted on my progressl So far it's a breeze -- but then we'll see how I feel a week or two from now. Not too worry though, this fighting Irish woman is certainly not ready to give up.

My money is on you Kate! Hoping that the treatment stays a breeze and the outcome is as sweet.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Kate! I posted on your other thread about side effects and what I did for them, but sounds like you're all prepared thanks to Brenda!!! That's great, let us know how you do :)

Katie, you're just flatout amazing. This is the combo. for you. With the Xeloda, are you doing 2 weeks on, one off? You are truly an awesome warrior Queen and you have rallied all of your forces for battle. You look so cute with that Chinese Hamster on your shoulder. You can do it, Katie! Love, Bill

Kate, Give that cancer hell! Joan

Kate,

It sounds like you are well prepared for battle. Sending a special prayer your way that the treatment does its job and that the side effects are few.

Hugs,

Praying that this combo works for you. I can't wait to see you dancing with NED.

HA HA HA Pink - I read your last sentence as "Let us know how #2 goes".... ooops. That's more info than I need. LOL

Kate, you are officially a Tykerb Tiger or Tigress, whichever you prefer!

Dear Kate,

I am praying that this is the right combo too kick the cancer's butt. And you are always in my thought and prayers also.

Well, what can I say about day two???? Let me just say I must have a very sensitive digestive system! Thank God for Immodium!!!!! and the BRAT diet!

This is a great combo Kate
 

and I wish you much luck with it. I did very well on it and it seems you are "armed" for side effects already.

Keep us posted Kate and take care

Hey Kate just thinking of you and wondering how the new combo is treating you...hoping for few side effects and lots of power on the lung mets! You are in my thoughts.

Kate: Thinking of you and hoping things slow down on the bottom end. Keep fighting; you inspire me .
