Patty,
That is such wonderful news! I've been praying you would be posting something like this.
My Onc told me I would never be able to use Xeloda again, because I had such a bad reaction to it 2 years ago(ended up in the hospital with severe diarhea, fever, low blood counts, infection, after only 10 days on it). However, he started me out at the full dosage for my body mass which was 4,300 mgs daily. I am 5'8" and about 140lbs, so this seems like an awful lot to me. After reading many posts about taking much smaller dosages, I will be discussing this with my Onc.
I haven't had WBR, but did just have Gamma Knife and am wondering if that form of RADS would make the brain more subseptible to chemo. Also, I am not familiar with Temodar. Is that a chemo as well? Is it known to cross the BB barrier?
Sorry for all the ?'s, just trying to stay up on anything regarding brain mets!
Love, Kim
And eeeehaaaa! I'm sooooo happy for you!
