    Chemo land
    Thank you all for your good wishes and your words, they mean a lot to me.
    Saw onc this morning (I showed up at his office to get an appt, as I was tired of two days of waiting for a call)and will start chemo tomorrow, Oxy, Avastin and Xeloda for 3 rounds (once every three weeks) then drop the Avastin the 4th round, then hopefully surgery after 6 weeks or so after dropping the Avastin (depending of course on tumor shrinkage).
    The surgery being cancelled had nothing to do with heart, all were willing and able to deal with that (especially since it was "fixed" with a stent) it was due to too many tumors showing up on the PET scan (CT scan showed about 5 fewer).
    Okay, on to tumor shrinkage once again, fingers crossed on surgery once again.
    Gosh, I HATE OXY and the cold thing...oh well.

    but I am glad that they still have surgery as the goal. That's huge. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts tomorrow, hoping it all goes smoothly. May those little **** cancer cells drop like flies! Hugs and strength coming your way~Ann Alexandria
