Sandy,
Well, you are a true trooper - and Tykerb celebrity. Whatever gets thrown at you, you will deal with.

Just curious, why are you expecting bad news? Do you have symptoms? From my experience, symptoms don't necessarily mean squat, I never had symptoms except while in remission LOL.

Thinking of you, sending good vibes and prayers. Keep us posted.

Much love
Chris

My thoughts are with you Sandy. I have an MRI tomorrow and am also a little nervous. I know I have to go back on chemo, but am going to wait until after April vacation when I return from visiting my parents in Florida. I think I am going to go on Xeloda and I didn't want to start it just before a trip.
Best wishes,
Barbara
