Yess, Milo came by Fedex. (Inside joke, Milo=Tykerb)
Hi Brenda, Andi, Carolyns, Shell,
Thank you for your description of your routines it is very helpful as I've never been good with schedules. It makes sense to put the baby on a set schedule. It might just be my time to learn to follow directions.
My first day on Xeloda. Just a touch of queezy feeling.
I think I'll try taking Tykerb tonight, but if it messes with my sleep it'll get bumped to the morning. I'll join the snooze alarm club then.
Comparing it to my last summer's chemo, I miss my nice nurse, but I see it doesn't hit you suddenly as a regular chemo would, so that is much better.
I'll see my oncologist on Friday, if he doesn't offer it, should I ask for a blood test? I don't even know is Xeloda hard on your counts? Do you girls get regular CBC-s?
Hope you have a great OFF week, Andy!
Fondly,
Odette
Ps: I really meant nanogenarians!
