Best Of

@threetree Great news! So glad the Xeloda is working and you were able to get out for a walk.

I'm off for a walk myself this afternoon-so nice to see the sun and we've hit 50!

@threetree Wow, that's great news. It's so good for morale. This will give you the courage to continue playing Xeloda. I have the same dosage and frequency as you and my results have been good for 1 year. Keep up the good work with Xeloda!

I find the zoom support group meetings through Breastcancer.org extremely helpful

@threetree so glad to hear the treatment is working. Hopefully there will just be an adjustment period and as the weather improves so will your/our energy levels.

It's been delightful outside this week and for the first time since October I've been able to get our for a short walk. Must ease into physical activity slowly as I've done little over the last 1 1/2 years!. 2 days i walked a half mile and 2 days I helped stack some brush from a few fallen trees. I must be more careful that I don't over do it. It's so hard when it's been habit to work outside in the garden and woods. I must continue to do my therapy and as my dr friend said i have to "train" for my spring workout. Winter isn't over yet!

@jen1

unfortunately, I have the same experience as you with my oncologist. The message section on MyChart states that responses may take up to 3 business days and I have sometimes had them go longer. The nurses screen the messages and will not always pass them along to the MO. Even when I address my question specifically to the MO, the nurse will respond instead. I have requested a consultation with another MO at the same facility and am considering switching.

@norah2024 do you have a palliative care doctor? They’re very helpful dealing with side effects. I also second the recommendation for ondansatron.
