My Good Run with T/X is over
Well, I knew it couldn't last forever but my 8 month love affair with Tykerb/Xeloda is history. My last scan was September and I only had two tiny liver mets on the radar screen. So I was hoping for a good scan in December but realized the average time to recurrence on this combo is about 8 months. My scans Friday were scary to say the least. Liver mets back and multiplied, lung mets showing up again and looking like some bone activity. I.m disappointed and a little scared. Have been feeling crappy for the last two weeks but thought it was the cumulative effects of the Xeloda. So I'm sure I'll get a call from the onc first thing Monday. Looks like it will be a chemo Christmas - how sucky is that?!
Can you ladies tell me what regimens you have gone onto after failing T/X? I'd like to be armed with some info before I meet with my onc.
Thanks,
