I’m feeling like I am back to square one. I was comfortable with hormone therapy, I knew where I was with that. Now they have decided to start chemotherapy… Xeloda first because my veins are so shoddy they don’t want to start me on IV chemo just yet.
My bone mets are now in both my right pelvic region and my left, my left femur, my 6th ,7th and 8th ribs on my left, my sternum and the top of my spine.
So sorry things are so crap for you again poannie. This disease has a way of coming up and biting us in the bum. Have you had xeloda before? So many seem to get on really well with it. If you don’t why not ask them for a portacath? At least it would save you the misery of hunt the vein on an iv chemo. Are you still on bondranat? or did you have to come off it to sort out the dental probs? I wonder if your bone mets is on the move why they don’t switch you to zometa - I know my onc said when he switched me too it that it was the best. Take care - sending you hugs.
Hi, can’t say anything to help other than I sympathise. I’ve currently got horrible nerve pain in my upper back/neck that’s driving me mental. I had an MRI scan yesterday, get the results Mon. Am dreading the worst, obviously.
