As we say in our house, "those nodes don't seem to have their listening ears on, do they?" Those dumb, old, nervy things. I hope xeloda kicks them again and if not then Navelbine as it is also quite tolerable for many.
So here is to a NEW BABY (smell her for me a lot okay-I just love new baby smell) and no nodes and a happy spring-what a glorious time to be born!
I'll be thinking node thoughts for you.
