Lu Ann, I'm sorry to hear about the counts going up...that's always upsetting but especially going into the weekend. Just try not to worry too much.

I haven't had Xeloda yet, but we're going to be adding it once we get some side effects from Navelbine resolved. I've been told we'll start on a low dose and work up to whatever I can tolerate, and that the most common side effects are diarreah, and/or hand-foot syndrom(red, chapped and peeling skin on the palms of hands and soles of feet). I am sure you'll hear from some who have actual experience with Xeloda, and I also know a couple of ladies at my treatment center who've have very good response from Xeloda/Herceptin combo. Will you be staying on Herceptin and Zometa?

<3,
Lolly
