Hi Wendy , glad to hear you are getting some help. When I was on Xeloda I often only lasted 12 days a cycle . It still seem to work ok. So dont worry. I hope you do get a chance for a holiday. I have just come home after 10 days away in sunny Qld. The weather was around 24 during the day. I usually get anxious when i,m away from home but this time i really enjoyed our holiday. I'm due for scans the first week in September but I m feeling relaxed whatever the out come. Look after your self and do what you love doing . Love Wendy h 67
