Hi @sunandsaltwater, yes its interesting you were told that xeloda would only work for 6 months, I really cannot quite work out how they manage to come up with these figures,perhaps its just a way of saying dont get your hopes up too much, personally I think its wrong, they could just say well, we will see how we go, as I said I have had 28 months out of a xeloda and another lady here has been on it for five years, after chemo I went on to Femara for about 6 months, then exemestane and everolimus combo for two years and then exeloda, I have scans on Thursday this week and then the results on the 26th July, my markers at their lowest went down to 13!!! they are now creeping up in the low 40s and I know that my oncologist will be looking at other treatments for me.
Yes, I do have a blodd test every 19 days, its a complete blood evaluation plus my cancer markers, its a way of keeping an eye on my liver and kidney function as well as everything else, I feel very safe and secure knowing that I am being looked after so well, it would be interesting to see if you could go back on the palbo again after xeloda,
any cream is okay for feet and I have tried everything, I find that I have to wear socks and flat comfy shoes, I also use Dermaveen Bath and Shower Oil,.with oatmeal, its great and then put some cream on my hands and feet, see how you go, we are all different and you not have any side effects, let me know how you go,
