Re: Just started Tykerb/Xeloda and worried this combo won't work either :-(
Ellie- next appointment with loca onc about 1.5 weeks. See doc at MDA in 3 months.
Beth- thanks for the encouragement. My rational mind goes out the window occasionally! Can't beleive your onc told you not to worry about all those lymph nodes! Glad you fired him and ever happier you are doing well!
I am eating very healthy, lots of fruits/veggies and exercising. Of course I was already very healthy before cancer! lol. My issue is weight loss....I started 5'6 and 130 pounds and am now down to 110 pounds. Apparently I am one who loses weight with stess!
Thanks all!
