goodbye xeloda hullo to navelbine

Hi there @Rosie_BCNA, well the temperatures here have broken all the records, it was still 43 at 7pm last night, indescribable!! the whole family furry included just did not go outside except for 2 wee stops! and she could not get back in quick enough, she has a very thick coat so was doubly hard for her, cooler today but we had two aircons going  all night and have done for the last week,I am now 13 days of no xeloda, was unwell for a few days and of course the heat just exacerbated this, my hands and feet seem a little better, it will be a few weeks still before I get back the dexterity in my hands, we go to see my oncologist next Thursday and he will start me on the new oral navelbine, my McGrath nurse has been in contact and I also had two chats with Pip,the back fill nurse while mine was on her christmas break, I have to take anit nausea medication and then just see how I go, if I can tolerate xeloda for nearly 3 years then I can manage anything!!!.
Thank you for the message and I do hope that the heat does not last too long in Victoria,it really has been a challenging time,
