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

    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.
