@intolight Hoping you will get the relief you deserve with reduced dose. The Xeloda I'm on is similar they start high dose and adjust as you go. I was joking with my friend last week explaining how it works and I said "I'm willing to suffer for stable". I feel like it should be a T-shirt. Which I feel like we all suffer for stable here!!!

Hope the reduction in meds makes you feel better intolight. I’ve been on 75mg for a long time now. Was on 125 mg for years ! I look back and think how did I manage that?
Have a good day ladies. Happy Friday!

@intolight 50 mg for me was heaven. Huge difference! I wish you the best on the new dose and for many years to come. You'll be in the kitchen cooking in no time for your family!

Tried to do laundry but the stool holding the panda broke. Took legs off the stool, will insert weights in stool storage. tape lid down. Put foam on bottom of legless stool and top, tape those down and use a large towel to stabilize panda spin dryer. I also purchased a new portable washer, same model as the one I have had more than 3 years. Need to have a practical wash option, cannot drag my stuff to laundromat
Eggs this morning with a lot of cheese, seasoned with fibre one cereal done up in spice grinder, garlic and salt, have not made up rice yet. No lentils opened yet. Microwaving to save time. Might have two to three eggs, I will see very shortly. Repairs of the stool will commence after and I think that would be fine to since bedding wash is coming up, just feeding left to right in short cycles. Or keep the old washer to take care of some of it, not sure yet. Keeping everything in the closet for now since there is plenty of room.
I hope all have a good day and in all pockets where needed.

Thank you so much ladies for the warm welcome :) It's amazing to see how much you all care for and support each other. I am so glad you liked the cherries!!!! It's lovely to be among instant friends, and I can already feel the positive energy in this group.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Intolight, it's good to hear that your MO will reduce the dose of verzenio. I've been on the lowest dose of Ibrance all this time, except for the first cycle at the highest dose - which landed me in the hospital with neutropenic fever! My MO basically said, 'well, your body certainly responded to it', and we went right to the low dose. Minimizing side effects is so important for quality of life, and if you're feeling like you can't go on the way it is now, definitely time to reduce dose. Sending you hugs.
