Thank you @wendy55! What a relief for me to hear you've had such a long time with Xeloda. And to know you are there to compare notes with me about side effects.

I'll be interested to hear what your options are for your next treatment.

@Kattykit, funny isn't it - I had an increased appetite with the palbociclib plus Faslodex treatment! I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing the opposite.
