Treatment Change
Hi girls.... so tumor markers were up agin, so my treatment is to change. I start on Xeloda tomorrow.
I was offered a trial which would involve retesting old cancer tissue etc etc, then all in all i mightnt even qualify for it, so i chose the chemo tablet option.
I feel better knowing i am actively doing something, testing & waiting for potential acceptance into a trial doesnt sit well with me at all.
Thanks to all of you for being so patient with muy tantrums over the last month..

- Cate! Thanks for letting us know how you went! At least you know exactly what is happening, so hang in there step at a time, you really are doing an incredible job inspite of the challenges that pop up! I like the idea too of the tablet as you said! Sending the biggest HUG I can to you. I agree with Rowdy!!!! Tantrums bring it on!!! I think we all have earned the right to, don't you?? xo
- Sending you a hug I don't know what you are talking about,tantrums are allowed
- Cate you sound a little more settled after today's appointment. Chemo tablet sounds like a good option and as you said waiting to see if you qualify for a trial probably wouldn't do your nerves much good at this stage, waiting, waiting!!
Take care, sending you a virtual hug xx - hi @Cate64
So now you have a new treatment and a new way forward.
I honestly believe you are doing the best you can in the circumstances of where you are at presently.
I am sending you energy to deal with this change and to be able to deal with the choices you make.
Hugs
