Plan B

I went in for all my tests yesterday and got to visit with Dr. C for a long time about what we were going to do. He decided to put me on Xeloda which is an oral chemo I will take everyday for two weeks and then one week off, then start over and over and over. Anyway, at least it's oral and not the iv kind yet. It still has some crappy side effects but hopefully I will weather those as well as I did with the Sutent. He decided to save the 2 iv drugs i was going to start for later when we need them more. I have a brain MRI today at 4:45 and then I will start taking the Xeloda. There probably won't be anything in the brain but even if there is he said it would be minimal at this point. So everythings good right now, I feel really good, all of my bloodwork was great. I got my cholesterol checked the other day for the first time ever. I didn't think it would be high because I don't eat meat or anything that would make it high but I was pretty impressed with my numbers. My total cholesterol was 139, my LDL was 64, HDL was 60, triglycerides were 75 and my ratio was 2.3. So other than the little cancer deal I feel like I'm pretty healthy! Have a great day! I'm still going to lead the cleanse group (basically just healthy eating and exercise) so let me know! Heather.
