Well..I finished my eight weeks of the 24/7 chemo....hooray! It feels so good not having my little bag hanging around. I get next week off from any chemo!! I get scans on Monday then the following Monday see what they are going to do next. Maybe try zaltrap chemo. I pray that everyone has a good weekend. Jeff

    I don't know how you did 8 weeks of the bag. I did five weeks bag before surgery and that was hard. A constant reminder attached to you. Good luck with your scan.

    Wow, cannot imagine going that stretch with bag attached. Praying for great scan results for you. I kinda wonder why they didn't give you xeloda.
