Hi Everyone. I have been reading valuable information on here for about a month but this is my first post. I found out Monday that I am going to be receiving 3 months adjuvant chemo starting sometime this month. I am diagnosed as IIIa (or b) with a complete tumor resection but 3/32 lymph nodes positive. I was offered either Folfox (6 IV treatments) or Xelox (4 IV treatments). I think I am going to do the Xelox although hand and foot syndrome scare me! I'm hoping with just the 4 treatments it won't be so bad. I have decided to do a port and still haven't heard when I will be getting that put in. It seems like this is going so slow as it is so long between each step. It will be 6 weeks since surgery on this Friday. I'm anxious to find out my schedule as I have a niece's wedding that I play a small part in as Godmother in September and my daughter gets married in October. I'm wondering if I have treatment the Tuesday before my niece's Saturday wedding if I will feel OK. I would like to plan it so that I am completely off the week before my daughter's wedding. Can anyone offer any advice or input?
Thank you.
