Don't mean to nag you...
Hi GemmaG,
It sounds very hard, having two young kids, working and then the crazy tumors are acting up!
Don't mean to nag I'm just wondering were you able to take the lowered dose? There is a great variation how much people are taking. The Tykerb/Xeloda seems to be terrific in holding the mets in check. Hope pray and trust it works for you!
I'm having a hard time taking all my pills... sometimes I end up not taking my vitamins because I get so tired of it.
Hope you feel well, best wishes and stay strong prayers are going your way,
Odette
