Yes, I have lung mets. I started out with only 2 things: one 6mm spot in left, 2-3mm pleural effussion in right. Started on Xeloda 2,500mg.

After the 1st follow-up, my supraclav nodes shrunk, the effusion was completely gone; however the same old 6mm spot grew to 9mm. AND there are 2 other spots that are suspicious (very, very tiny spots).

At this point, I don't show any symptoms from that, like dry coughing or tight chest, nothing. But I am getting fatigued as of late. Been throwing in a quickie nap during my afternoons (if you would call an almost 3-hour nap a "quickie"!).

Hands & feet are doing fine, just mostly skin discoloring (getting darker skin).

I will find out the status of Xeloda efficiacy on Wed, Dec 14 with my onc. That's the day before you take off for Maui.
