Hi
Just an update on me over here in England..
I started taking the Xeloda - 3300mg a day and Tykerb 1250mg a day.. this started last friday.. so far so good..
i have only experienced a little nausea, this is usually a couple of hours after ive taken the morning pills.. i'm very tired by mid afternoon, my recon seems to be sore and tender (that happened with other chemos) but apart from that all is ok.. would the side effects have kicked in by now?? i was expecting worse than this..(not that i want worse!)
dare i say it..this seems by far the easiest of chemos ive had..
I have to be re scanned in 6 weeks to see if my tumours have shrunk in my lungs and my back..
thanks to those who have replied so far....
love to you and keep fighting the fight!
Jakki
