New Plan
I've had a 5 week break from the chemo called Irinotecan. It worked ok, but not good enough. So starting tomorrow, I am switching to Xeloda, which will be an oral medication. So last week I had my pic line removed ! It's been in my left arm for 10 months with tape over it - ahhh my arm can breath now.. Last weekend also celebrates 21 months surviving PC. I like to think of it more as a victory and knocking this stuff down and out.
We had a great time at the Oregon Coast this week with my family and that included my new beagle dog "Ruby".

Hi Susan. Congrats on reaching your 21 month anniversary...be sure to celebrate every milestone. I'm one month behind you. It's great to hear that you're doing well and I hope Xeloda does the job. I was on it for my first year and it worked wonders with very little side effects.
Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Warmth,
Kate Thaxton

Yes, congrats on your 21 month anniversary! I hope the Xeloda works well for you. Great photo of the family (and the new addition, Ruby, is so cute!).
Lots of love & prayers from Maryland,
