Xeloda continues

Just a quick post about our recent trip into BI on Tuesday...

The port flush went smoothly and Dr. H says that I seem to be doing great on Xeloda, so I will continue with the treatment as is. The oral form costs a bit more out of pocket, but it gives us the flexibility of not having to go into Boston so much or take time off of work. Xeloda, unlike some of the other chemotherapy options doesn't have the risk of neuropathy or heart damage, which means that if it continues to work, I could remain on Xeloda for a couple of years.

Upcoming Appts:
2/11: CT Scan
2/14: Results, check-up, & port flush (Happy Valentine's Day!)
