I will complete my first cycle of Xeloda today (2 weeks on; one week off). I have already noticed some signs of HFS on my feet. Sometimes they are red and feel hot.

So...whats for dinner?
I thought it might be fun to start a thread on what we are having, making or had for dinner. Sometimes it is the best tuna steak you ever had, sometimes it's a can of soup. But we all do it every night in some form or another. Maybe we can give each other ideas on what to make, or bitch about what we had, or the fact that…

My bottle's still at the pharmacy and, after reading the PDF that the oncologist's office helpfully provided, I'm inclined to leave it there. Besides the handling instructions which makes tamoxifen sound as toxic…
