Structure - boy isn't that the truth! I feel like a baby on a schedule. I eat breakfast and take my am Xeloda between 7-8 am. I am on a trial for hand/foot syndrome and need to put the cream on my palms and soles so I do that after I bathe in the morning. At noon, I take the B6 for the trial, my clonidine for hot flashes and a calcium. I eat my evening meal so that I can take my evening Xeloda around 7-7:30, the take my Tykerb between 9-9:30 and do the cream thing to my palms and soles again. So far this routine is working pretty well for me. I am more fatiqued on this than any of the other chemos I have taken. I have had 3 times I needed the imodium, but then things stabilize after that. The last couple of days I have had a few zits on my chin. Tomorrow I start the week off of the Xeloda, so I am curious to see how I feel then.
