No, it's not dumb. It's how you felt. The mind can do that to us once

in a while! The rule of thumb is you should see some results form any

form of regular exercise in 6-8 weeks. I'm sure you are looking great!

Keep up the great work!

Update on me

Hi everyone, time for an update on me.

Went to doctor and got my results from CT scan. Not good news.

My tumor has started growing again. He put me on Xeloda. Is anyone out here on

That particular chemo pill??? I have yet to start it because I have to wait for payday. But was just wondering how anyone tolerated it. I have to take five 500mg pills in the morning then I have to take 2-500mg and 2-150mg at night for 14 days with one week off then start again.

I am suppose to go to s. Carolina in July for my son n laws graduation from boot camp. I pray I am up for the trip. Can't afford to fly so my daughter and I are going to drive it. Its going to be probably a 20 hr drive from my house. My daughter lives 5 hrs south of me. Any info would be appreciated.

That particular chemo pill

I will ask my friend Suzette if she has taken that.

She has been taking different meds since her BC came back 20+ years ago.

She has cancer around the periphery of where her breasts used to be. It is too close to the lungs to radiate so she takes all kinds of chemo or pills to keep it from spreading elsewhere.

Nothing stops her it seems- right now she is in Italy teaching and will be back

in a couple of weeks.

She is bald again and has the chemo cough right now;

She went to Italy anyway to teach of course!

She is such an inspiration to me and everyone that knows her

as her joy and appreciation for life is contagious.

well i have had a nerve racking week. first off, i have a herniated dics.

second, my tumor is growing again, third. when they did the mri on my back

they seen something on L2 so i go monday for a bone scan. my fear is mets to

the spine. that would explain my herniated disc since i did nothing to cause

it. i go to a nero surgeon on thursday for my back. i am on morphene for the

pain and still have quite a bit of pain. it radiates through my right hip

and down the front of my right leg. and to top it all off we are getting

auditted by irs. i just wish things would just settle down. it has been 12

yrs fighting this dam dragon and i am tired. some days i feel 80 yr old

instead of 45. thanks for letting me vent. god bless and hugs from carol in

michigan

September 17, 2006

Carol,

Have you heard of bisphosphonates? These are drugs that prevent further bone

lesions. The names are Aredia (Pamidronate) or Zometa (Zoledronate). They are

given IV in the doctors office. Sometimes they radiate bone lesions, if needed

to treat the pain and stop the cancer growth.

Watch out for constipation on Morphine. Our docs want patients on fiber

preferably, only laxatives if the fiber isn't working for them. Stool softeners

are ok, but they are only telling the colon it is ok to let some water out in

the stool, fiber is better.

I hope the doctors piece your puzzle back together and get you back on track.

Good luck!

Rhonda
