Dear Esther, Flori and Margo,
We are all in the same boat, the Xeloda Tykerb boat I guess.
I just turned in my paperwork to have it faxed to Tykerb on Friday. I'm quite nervous that my insurance will not pay for it. The social worker already had to fight it out with Anthem that they pay for the Xeloda.
Maybe they'll assist me at least. I'm also nervous about the side effects, this will be my second summer in a row on chemo.
What schedule are you gals on for Xeloda? Two weeks on one week off?
I'm hoping to be on the
one on one off schedule, but I'll have to contact my second opinion doc about that at MSKCC.
My other big question is: would COQ10 be safe/ appropriate to take along with the X+T??
If I ask my onc here I know he'll say NOOO.
So happy I met you gals!!
Sorry for my grammar, I did not grow up in an English speaking country.
Best to all, and prayers,
Odette
