Last weekend I had another CT scan and we got the results yesterday at my doctor appointment. It seems the Xelodna (chemo pills) are not doing their intended job and the tumors did actually grow since the last scan. So, this coming Friday I start another new treatment. This one is back to an infusion (luckily only an hour every three weeks) and then there's the big question: How sick will this make me? This regiment involves taking nausea-reducing steroids before, during and after the infusion so hopefully I won't be too sick.
Until Friday, at least, I should be feeling pretty good. Fingers crossed that I will also feel OK post-treatment.
I also had a cold earlier this week. Still a little congested (though not as bad as Dave) but feeling like it's mostly passed.
Hope you are all well!
I'll keep my fingers crossed that the new regimen has manageable (or no--how great would that be?) side effects. I've really enjoyed the last few posts--thanks for giving me a chance to catch up on all those years we were out of touch.
