Back on Xeloda Again.........
Seems like my nodes just wont behave when I go off the Xeloda....went to Chicago today to get my Herceptin and I had the Dr. paged to check my neck...needless to say, my drug holiday is over....this will be my 3rd round of Xeloda...off and on since I started it last March....if the nodes don't respond this time, its Abraxane or navelbine.....Lolly, could you have your nodes tell my nodes to get with the program???? The are stubborn, I know yours are too...I am just happy Xeloda seems so easy for my....bring out the flip flops....and so glad its getting warmer....it seems like the hand foot neuropathy is the only side effect I get from it.
On the brighter side, my daughter is being induced today....I can't wait...I'll be a grandma again today or tomorrow.....unless the ultrasounds were wrong....its a little girl on the way and her name I think will be Maura...or Moira...whichever the Irish Speeling is...Hey Trisha can you help me out on this one??? Neddless to say I covered all bases and bought a little outfit covered in Shamrocks....this baby is from Murray, McCormick, Condon heritage.....I am betting on red hair!!!!
