I just finished my second cycle of Tykerb/Xeloda, so it's been about 6 weeks since I began this treatment plan.

After the first cycle my CA 27-29 showed a huge tumble down to 90, and after this second cycle, my CA 27-29 has again dropped to 58.

My liver functions are normal, and my bones continue to do well, no pain at all. We had figured with Dr. Pegram's input that the spike in my CA 27-29 was due to my brain lesions. If that is so, perhaps this means that my brain lesions are responding well to the combination of SRS, and new therapy.

I will be getting my next MRI sometime in Mid June, so I am now excited to see what those results are.

So far Tykerb/ Xeloda is an easy and tolerable treatment plan to be on, so I hope that it continues to do well for me for a long time. As always, I react differently than everyone else....I don't have the runs, but the opposite situation!!! My complexion has completely cleared up, so I am now so happy about that!

Yay for Tykerb/Xeloda!!!!
