chemo break is ending
I got the results of my CT. Scan from my doc. yesterday. Things still look stable with the exception of an enlarged lymph node in my chest so I will be going on Xeloda in the next few weeks. I need to find out how much my insurance co. will cover. I have Anthem Blue Access (PPO) in Ohio.
I feel very fortunate to have been on such a lengthy break. My last chemo was Dec. 19. 05. In the last 24 months I have been on some type of treatment for 14 months, with the remaining 10 months just getting zometa for the bone mets. I'm not looking forward to another chemo, but I know that unless I go into remission this is what I'm going to have to do.
My nurse went over the drill at length with us yesterday and could not emphisize enough about when to notify her about side effects. She wants to know immediately when my hands and/or feet turn red.
How have you who are on this medication done? Did you have good results? Thanks for any info you can give me.
Love and Blessings, Lu Ann.
