This stage IV cancer has not beaten me yet!
I went for a checkup yesterday and my new drug to my body (Xeloda) is reducing the cancer markers ever so slightly. This old body is going to keep kicking just like that mean stuff is trying to kick me.

The word, HOPE, keeps us all going and our strong faith in family and God.

Keep trying everyone!!!!!

    I am celebrating with you. Good news for you--I am glad that the medication is shrinking the cancer markers.

    I'm having a Michelob Ultra right now for you.

    You GO, girl!!!!
    Xeloda is 5FU after metabolization....it's a tollerable, long-term chemo...many Colorectal cancer survivors are on this for 'maintenance chemo'.

    Take care to keep hydrated. Also, ask about vitamin B6 for neuropathy.


    Sending best wishes!!!

    Hugs, Kathi
