I have just come back from the hospital after seeing onc re scan results. GOOD NEWS apparently the disease in my liver has significally reduced and so have the nodes in my lung. So xeloda has done the trick. I am so relieved as this was my third lot of chemo and if this didn’t work I didn’t know where I would go from here.
I have to have 3 more cycles of xeloda but the side effectd havn’t been too bad for me so I don’t mind too much
hi Caroline
you have made my day ! i am on my 3rd lots of xeloda for my liver mets diagnosed dec 09 , so its great encouraging news, Have a lovely day
love galen xx
we might open a bottle of something tonight unfortunately got to go to my sons school tonight for ‘options’evening’ but perhaps when we get back. Its been a while since we have had some good news. I hope that it gives everyone some hope
Excellent news - congratulations and enjoy the good result. It always helps encourage others. I was the one on live chat last night who kept going off and on!
Brilliant news Caroline, really, really pleased for you
Had my daughter’s options evening a couple of weeks ago - took ages seeing all the teachers but it was interesting. You’ll probably need a drink when you get back from that anyway, lol!
Great news Caroline - hope the headache isn’t too bad this morning It makes any treatment really do-able when you know it’s doing it’s job, now get the next 3 cycles out of the way!

Hi Caroline, Hope you don’t mind me asking but how many cycles of Xeloda did you have before your scan? I’ve had 3 nowanmd I was told I would be on it for as long as it continued to work.

Hi Lesley
Of course i don’t mind you asking!! I had 6 cycles of it before I had a scan I am now having another 3 cycles I don’t know whether I will be having another scan after these or not. I am going to ask when I see the onc in a couple of weeks time
