The treatment of Xeloda is going okay. I have figured out which pills to take at what time to maximize their effectiveness against the nausea and diarrhea caused by the Xeloda. I am extremely tired, and take a 4 hour nap each afternoon. Thank you to all who are willing to help watch my kids so I can sleep! Today is my last day of pills, and then I get a week off! Yipee!
My pain in my hip and shoulder has been pretty bad. Going up and down the stairs is extremely difficult. I have had to increase the amount of pain meds I have to take, and I think that is contributing to my fatigue along with the chemo. My brother said maybe I was hurting so bad because cancer cells are dying off. Wouldn't that be wonderful!
Please check out the picture page for more great pictures that my sister took at The Run 4 Amber. They are awesome!
