Thanks Lee! It's been a VERY long and HARD road!

Hello I just wanted to mention that Xeloda or capacetabine is calculated by body mass I'm 6'2" and 240lbs so I take 2500 mg twice a day for 5000 mg total per day when I took it with radiation it was less 4000 mg per day but this time it started at 6000 mg a day but I had horrible neuropathy in...

What do you mean I have the bleeding and clots reversed, Nik Colon?

Ron has had 6 ...

rmblack, you are in my prayers! I feel SO badly for you!!

Ron had 3 vectibix treatments and his skin has REALLY suffered! Extremely dry skin on the back of his neck and his buttocks, which are now somewhat red! Also cracked skin on fingers, with an opening on one of them! PLEASE can someone tell me a GOOD cream for him? He is using Aquaphor (spelling)? and...
