not good results today

… hi girls have had a very bad day today. Results from ct scan were not what we had hoped for from having a good result at my 8 weekly taxol session and now having had 14 taxol, there has been major progression in my liver, more tumours and the ones which were shrinking have got larger, also pancreas got mentioned. He was very cagy and evasive with me as if just telling me that was enough for today but have a feeling there is more going on. Anyway thats femara stopped and starting xeloda tomorrow have been reading the other thread on it and i hope and pray i can tolerate it but obviously now as if i wasnt scared before i am terrified now. please again any words of wisdom would help a very frightened person tonight

Dear Max

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had some bad news. Please know that we are thinking of you. I have liver and bone mets and had 6 cycles of Capecitabine and had some fairly positive results. With regards to my primary chemo I found it very doable. No real side effects and, as it’s oral, no intrusive drips. Many people on here have had excellent results from this drug and I hope it will be the same for you. It’s such a stressful time and this disease can be very frightening.

If you want any further info on capcitabine, please do not hesitate to PM me.

No words of wisdom but a big hug and wishing you good results with the new treatment. Thinking of you tonight, x

So sorry Max that you have had bad results, it is never ending is it.
I have to have more chemo too and i am starting 2-3wks time on carboplatin as the last one didn’t do much good, hope you get on well with your new one and it really works for you.
Good luck to you and to me.

Sending you love and support for a peaceful night.
I hope you will have the energy to tackle tomorrow and all that daylight brings…
In my thoughts Max.

Goodnight
