OK Girls, so you know I have started on Xeloda to try & tame those pesky TM's that dont seem to want to behave right at the moment??

Well......... I have what I think is a side effect............ are you.... this is going to make you laugh so hard!!!

OK.. so instead of developing a hot flush which is how it feels at the start of it, its like ok here comes a hot flush but instead... my ears get hot & start to itch like crazy for a minute or 2... then just like a hot flush... it gone!!

Go on admit it... you are all jealous way cool of my side effect :)

    Omg Cate! That is so funny! It's so weird how our bodies all react so differently to all the drugs we are given!

    Goodness is there no part of the body that is immune from side effects, the ears...................

    I find if I knock myself I don't get a full on bruise but a purple looking square that looks like a tattoo.............GP told me yesterday that I am fragile little flower, I cracked up with smiles and internal laughter...............amongst our topics we were busy talking about dead bodies................isn't it great when you have a good relationship with the GP that you can natter about obscure topics whilst having treatment!  My blood pressure reading was the best yet!
