Well, I WAS going to get a break from one of the chemos...but Dr. Kenyon spoke with a collegue at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, who recommended that I stay on the Navelbine with the Xeloda for another year. When I asked Dr. K. about the outlook for this, he replied that there are some people who can come through this, and the chemo really works for them. Then he mentioned that when I'm 10 years out we can have a toast. He was encouraging, and we knew that altering it as we go was a possiblity, and that we don't want to quit too soon if the best results would be to hold out for a while. We'll check in with him again toward the end of October, and will be assessing the progress and the drugs about every 6 months, with scans I believe more frequently than that. Dr. K.'s outlook was very hopeful.
Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off for drugs I go...my appointment is in 45 min. for this weeks dose. Mmmmmm can't wait. I did have one week off, and Pat took me to Mary's Peak for a very sweet sunrise that day. Good guy!!!
Love you,
Jeanne
