Tykerb/Xeloda - great scans!
More encouraging news for all of you on Tykerb/Xeloda. My onc decided to do scans after just two rounds cause he's heading for vacation and my blood work and markers have not been abnormal so can't help us see how things are going. My last scan in mid-May showed 3 spots in the lungs and multiple liver spots - one more than 7cm in length. Scans today showed marvelous improvement! Lung spots are GONE!!! Small liver lesions - GONE!!! Large lesions (2) are at least 50% smaller!!! YIPPEE!! Coupled this with almost no side effects (a little fatigue) and I am one happy camper!! He says that he know some patients that have been on this regimen for years and it is still working for them. Boy, would I love to be part of that club!
I wish the same great results for all of you on this regimen. Please check in and let me know how you are doing.
