tykerb/xeloda not working

[sally]

A month ago I got the news that the 2 spots on my liver were gone and the lymphnodes are shrinking. I was having some stomach pain for the last few months and thought it was the t/x. It got alot worse so I had a CT(drink contrast). It showed that I have a large mass smooshed like a pancake the Dr. said. It is around my intestines and uterus. I can't beleive how painful it is. I will start the treatment that I was on in the beginning back in June of 04. Taxotere/Carboplatin/Herceptin. The mass didn't show up on my last couple of PET/CT scans because of where it was hiding. The PET doesn't blow up your intestines like the CT (drink) does. Good bye to my hair again. Oh well. Just thought I would fill you in on the latest. Thanks for listening and take care. Sally
