Ending 2nd Cycle of Xeloda

May 3, 2008:

Well I am just about to finish up with my 2nd cycle of Xeloda and chemo; Sunday is my last day for this cycle I must say I am glad of it. I am starting to fill a bit toxic my muscles are acing and I am getting muscles spasm at night which wakes me up. For me this is a sign that my body is having a hard time processing this drug. I have 4 more cycles to go I hope I can hang in there to finish this treatment up. I can only imagine what this is doing to me. My Dr. did say he could reduce my dose if I start having problems. So I hope that will help. I would appreciate any advice from you who has taken this drug… Other than that I am not to bad one side effect is I am losing weight which I can stand to loose a few lbs.., and my sugar levels are really good, go figure. I do get pretty wiped out after putting in 8 hrs of work not much good for anything, I find my self in bed by 7 these days but I do get up a 4:30am for work. I DVR all my favorite shows lately. I hope all you have a great weekend.
