Today's Update is brought to you by 6 giant horse pills I take daily - Xeloda. Dear chemo pills, Thank you for working on my cancer. I am finally feeling hopeful as my tumor markers continue to drop with each 21day cycle.
I hope this drug lasts a long time. It can always change, but for now my bets are on Xeloda.
Side effects are tolerable, because I know it is working. My feet are peeling and my fingers are sensitive to the touch. My stomach is constantly rumbling and fatigue is bad. I have been grateful that coffee, b-12 and a healthy diet have helped me stay alert.
Lets keep hoping my markers drop. My ca 15.3 is 56 & my cea us 47. This is the lowest they have ever been. I need my ca 15.3 to be under 35 and cea under 5. If I get that low... I might be NED! Lets hope for some time with no evidence of disease.
