My local oncologist wants to get me back on chemo...I have been off for about a month.
His recommendation is Xelox and Avastin.
He wants me to get back on Coumadin ( the Big University Medical Center oncologist took me off during my last round of chemo). It's only 1 mg a day.
I am also taking 600 to 1800 mg of Ibuprofen daily for the pain in my right lower lung.
Today, the pharmacy that will be providing the xeloda said something about xeloda shouldn't be used with coumadin?
Now, I am not sure what to do. Avastin, coumadin, and advil? I don't know much about the clotting system, but that all seems like a bit much. I am gonna worry about a paper cut Maybe it's for nothing, sometimes a little knowledge is not a good thing.
I have other options:
a. do nothing
b. go back to BUMC for a phase 1 trial
c. go to MD Anderson for a third opinion, see if they could offer me another trial .
Just not sure what to do at this point....
Peace
