I got a peek at my recent labs and my tumor marker continues to fall. It's down another 20 points or so (I can't remember). Since my Xeloda side effects are still minimal , with three days to go on this cycle, I will hope to stay on this as long as it works.
My feet are a little tender, especially the heels, and the joints in my thumbs feel the same. Nonetheless, this is much improved over the last cycle of Xeloda. Perhaps the henna is working!
