Shell, I had no succes at all w/ Xeloda. It totally wiped me out and I ran a fever for weeks on end. I think it is bizarre how differently people respond. I know several ladies who had mets disappear completely from the Xeloda. It is supposed to be a good drug, just not for me.
I went to see the onc yesterday but he was really behind on appointments and so he kinda rushed our visit, so I didn't ask about started the herceptin again. That and I didn't remember I was going to ask until I was driving home. My blood cell levels and platelets were low enough that I got procrit AND nuelasta-lucky me! The good news about that is I won't be getting chemo next week, I will wait until the following week. My counts weren't low enough for me to need blood again, otherwise I wouldn't be happy, of course. Plus this way I will be able to research herceptin some more before talking to him. I have to say that I am really impressed with the people I have met on here. I will have to keep coming back.
Thanks all,
Blue
