    Update

    The oral surgery went well, I have been off the Cabo for almost three weeks now and no more bleeding issues.  My Cancer team want me to start the Cabo back up next week but on  lower dose. I have agreed to this but I told them if I start feeling as sick as I was or start bleeding like I was I will probably go off of it.

    CT Scan results today

    I get my scans back today to see if the previous CABO worked or not, I still have not started the lower dose because the insurance company is complaining that this is a new dose and they want proof I need it.  I know who I am not putting on my Christmas list this year.

    lower dose cabo

    Mark, I had a few weeks break form cabo, then a couple at 20mg, and now 2-3 weeks at 40mg. So far so good. I was afraid that I wouldn't be given the drug after getting toxic at 60mg. I don't like how I feel but I can live this way. Like you, I hope I can ride this out for awhile. Here is where the med. mj really helps me. I  become unaware of feeling crappy. Then I can go work in the yard for hours. It is my therapy.
