Can you believe how fast this Fall season is going? Man, it is just whipping by. The past week has been low key for me. I was feeling run down and just as I am feeling better, I start cycle two of Xeloda tomorrow. 14 Day on and 7 days off. I'd like to update you on my Dr. appointment that I had today. All of my labs are within a good range. My tumor markers were a little on the high side a month ago, and they drew labs for that again today. But, it will be a week before I have those results. The doctor feels as though I am tolerating this drug well. I haven't got any of the worst of the side effects. The side effects that I have experienced ( tummy troubles, and vomiting ) are controllable with Imodium, and nausea meds. While there I had my port flushed. I was so happy that they were able to draw my blood work through my port instead of poking me in the arm. Yay! I also had my first xgeva shot that I've had in 10 weeks. It has left me feeling mildly achy and a bit blah. Overall, I am feeling pretty well. How are YOU feeling?
Here are some recent photos from our day trip to Sevierville, Tn. It was such a great day. There is so much fun stuff to do there. I am very hopeful that I will continue to do well on this medication so that my family and I can do more outings like this. Also here is a little picture of Sadie in case you miss seeing her here in the blogosphere.
Thank you so much for stopping by,
Leslie
