I finally did the exhale that I have been holding in for three and a half years. Just a bone density scan, and then we are through. Just wanted…

Xeloda update

Swelling at night
So, after chemo, lumpectomy (with 11 nodes removed), and 33 rads, I had no sign of lymphedema. But now, at night only, my hands and feet seem to swell. My hands get tight and painful, but if I flex them for a bit, the pain goes away. Anyone else experience this or anything like it? Bonnie

The MDA physician just called and said that I am now officially in remission! My scans show no activity and the ribs are now sclerosing (healing). I can't believe this. She said that the…
