DH was 5 days into his 3rd round of xeloda when he began feeling poorly. He's been taking 2,000 mg. xeloda twice a day for 2 weeks, then one week off. He is also on weekly infusions of erbitux. CEA after one round of the xeloda increased from 6.9 to 8 (that was 3 weeks ago, and he was supposed to be...

Dear Megan - I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am that your surgery didn't turn out as you had hoped. My husband has had that happen twice this year, and I know how devastating it is.

The discovery was not found until DH's abdomen had been opened with retractors in place. The result was a hu...

Belle - You are indeed a hero! I am so impressed with your courage. I join the others on the board in thinking the clinical trial folk should arrange a hospital stay during the next infusion, at no expense to you. I do hope the pre-meds keep you comfortable, and I'm very hopeful this research will l...

Marc had been very much on my mind during the past few weeks. I'm glad to hear that he was with his family during his last days, as was able to share an important milestone with his son. RIP Marc.

Well, of course you are the son of the Mighty Queen. Her grace, kindness and compassion is reflected in your words. Thank you for taking the time to post this message.
