I haven,t been on line for awhile as my focus was my daughters wedding and I did run into a problem with my bile duct which became blocked. They went in a installed a stent which took care of the problem although it really took a lot out of me as far as energy. My beautiful daughter was married on June 5th and everything went beautiful. I started this morning on 4000 mg of Xeloda and Avastin every three weeks. I am a little concerned about the high dosage and side affects after reading some of the comments other persons have experienced with 3500 to 4000mg. I also like the one week on and one week off regiment. I am going to speak with my onc and see if that's an option. I'll let you know in three to six weeks how things are developing. Take care and thanks for listening.....

    dose
    not too worry about the high dose TLH....if it proves too much for you they will just cut back on those xeloda pills....it's quite easy to adjust.

    glad the wedding went well

    Congrats on your daughter's wedding. My son is getting married early August and I am waiting to have a stint put in until after.
