Re: Colonoscopy Question-split day prep-OK?

Thank you both for your quick responses. I wish they'd told me beforehand,,,but they just give me a print out of their instructions. I know I'm not to drink 2 hours prior to exam-that just seems so close. I'm used to waking up and not being allowed to drink anything at all. But I'll try this out. We...

Re: Xeloda question

I used to eat animal crackers half an hour before taking the pills. Nothing big. Just something small should be fine. And I took a zofran as well-to be safe. But I never got nauseated by the xeloda.

Re: Working while getting Radiation and Xeloda?

Hi Ray! I'm sorry you're having to go through this now-but it's good they are doing something about it. I had 5 weeks radiation and xeloda-every day-mon through fri. This was done prior to my HIPEC....not sure if that will effect the way you feel-it's possible. And my radiation was focused on the co...

Re: Stepping back a little from the forum

Hi Ray-I totally understand this and feel the same right now...especially since I'm dealing with recurrence now. What you feel is normal and hope you feel better in the coming days. Just focus on healing and family now. You take care of yourself. :)
