The good news update as of today's MRi: nearly 50% decrease in size of my multiple brain mets, including the one on my pons/brainstem! This after two rounds on Temodar/Xeloda.
My onc has me on 250mg Temodar for 7 days, plus 2000mg Xeloda (in two divided doses) for 14 days. I do both for the first week, followed by Xeloda alone. I weigh about 120lbs @ 5ft 4 1/2inches. (for anyone interested in dosage etc.)
There is no way of knowing if this will continue, nor for how long... but for TODAY this is very good news. I have felt good for the past week, no dizziness at all. Nor any side effects but for complicated constipation.
Will hold the course, getting bloodwork plus more scans as time (that blessed word!) goes by.
Leaving in 3 days for our week+ fun trip

Thanks for the prayers and good wishes,
