pattyz is back from 'vacation'...
We went south to warmer weather for two months in our 5th wheel trailer.

Was able to figure out dosages of my Xeloda and Temodar in advance, so I kept up with the schedule for my brain mets.

Feeling fine. Have some 'bad days' but no real symptoms. MRi today. Onc tomorrow. Knock wood: four 1/2 yrs with recurrant brain mets. Seven plus since Stage IIIb dx.

Ya' never know what will work for YOU. I'm grateful to still be here.
