Hey Flori,

you have been through so much and you are a tough brave and passionate woman and you will just hang in there until they find a medication that will wipe out all the mets and micromets in your body.
I do also believe that the Xeloda is the one that causes more problems, maybe your doctor can reduce your dose like Lori's was reduced.

From what I hear the Tykerb 1250 mg is pretty much the effective dose.
I hope you have a good day today, when will you next see your doctor?

I promised myself that I will not let this get to me, but I'm quite upset that I am still dealing with the insurance company. (First they said OK to Xeloda, then they revoked it.) Monday my social worker sent in an appeal form, but I cannot get an answer from them. The office that has the info won't even talk to the patient, so I had to call the social worker to call them. And she is out of town etc. Ugh.
Until then I cannot send in my Tykerb Application for Assistance form. Coming to think of it I'll just send it in anyways and if the insurance does cover it I'll just cancel it.

Best wishes to you, hope your weekend goes well. I'm going to a breast cancer retreat Sunday and Monday in Amish Country. There'll be yoga and Taichi.

Your daughter probably has prom and other fun.
I remember it was pretty hard last year to just have been diagnosed and face the end of the year celebrations.

More hugs and prayers,

Odette
