Well as always my onc eases my mind and answers all my questions and concerns.. it's back to the Xeloda at a reduced dose and different schedule... 650mg twice a day and 10 days on and 11 days off... we are prepared for any of the side effects I experienced the last time I used this drug, and it was very very effective.... so now it's a wait and see in nine weeks what the next scan shows....
I really feel relieved and ready to do this again after seeing my onc nurse and fab dr.... and maybe tonight I'll get some sleep too.... thanks everyone for your kind words and support I appreciate it so much.....

Ah, that's good news. May the Xeloda kick butt! And may the se's be nonexistant.

Love

Hi Caya Just wanted to say hello from one Thornhill member to another. I love your picture. I also have two daughters around that age and a son who is 17. Hope you are enjoying this wonderful weather

Good luck with the new chemo combination. I hope it puts you into remission.
