Searching

Hi Beery, I have just had my third anniversary of living with secondary breast cancer.  My cancer is in the bones- Spine,neck,skull,ribs, pelvis & tail bone.  I started my treatment with radiation treatment as the cancer was pressing on my spinal cord. After I had Iv Abraxane, followed by Xeloda. which I was on for 15 months. It really wasn't too bad except for feet & hands problems. Towards the end of each cycle I had burning pain & cracked skin on feet & hands.  Moo Goo cream I found was the best thing but tried other creams as well. One good thing it kept my cancer stable. Had to watch my diet as diarrohea can be a problem.  My tumour markers didn't change much so I'm now on Exemestane only.  Due for scans this month & a visit to my onc. who I haven't seen since Jan. I may have to go back on Xeloda at some stage. Recently I have been getting dizzy turns which I hope is only positional vertigo as told by my GP.I guess when I have the scans all will be reveilled.

Best wishes Wendy
