Xeloda -- foot care
Hi Xeloda users! This might not be news, but it was news to me so I thought I'd post it. I've been taking Xeloda for nearly five years, so have tried many potions and pastes on my feet to keep them ...

Hi Primek,
My treatment is at the Lyell McEwin, although I have had palliative radiation at the RAH, we have also stayed at the cancer council lodge on several occasions,you have so much further to travel than I do,have you ever thought of angel flight? although like us when you come for appointments its a time to catch up and do a bit of shopping if you feel like it, my next appointment is for a whole of body bone scan and ct scan of my abdomen, to check and see whats happening on "the inside", that will be at the Lyell Mac on Dec.28th then back again on January 8th to get the results, I had to go to the new Dental Hospital on Monday, I was supposed to have an extraction and of course being on Xeloda and Xgeva poses a problem so had a fasting blood test to check my levels and then off to the hospital, after a lengthy conversation, we came home, with my tooth intact, it was considered too high risk,because there was not a high enough blood count to show that the bone would regrow, and after explaining to me the worst case scenario, I said I will keep the tooth as long as possible, they were really nice about it, I was a a bit pissed about the fact of going all that way, but I didnt fancy a whole in my gum if the bone did not regrow properly, anyway the upshot is no more xgeva until at least January and they will review but I think under the circumstances I will leave the tooth where it is, its only loose and not infected, I can live with that, everyone has really looked after me, my dentist here at Wallaroo said it was a procedure that needed expert attention.I love where we live at North Beach, its so quiet and I wake up to the birds singing, no traffic noise, the down side of course living in a small community is that most of the big services are in Adelaide, but I can live with that, we have a public hospital only 4 kilometers away,with the adjacent Dental Hospital, the community nurses come out to give me my injections and I have a cleaning lady once a fortnight, from the community health centre,and my McGrath nurse works out of the community health centre as well.
It would be great to see you in person, I did go to the forum at Hahndorf a year ago and if anything else comes up will try and get there as well,
