Ann Marie - Xeloda - Hand and foot syndrome I just wanted to share my experience taking Xeloda. I took the highest dose, 3 pills morning, 3 pills evening, 2 weeks on 1 week off. I was on this for 5 months but my feet peeled to the point of real sensitivity and my dr made me take a month off to let my feet heal. During those 5 months I used the urea cream (Udderly Smooth) that they recommended. During my month off I decided I didn't like the way … more…

Sterling - I'm alright Despite all my whining, I seem to be doing OK now. My weight is back to where it was and I am living on the higher dosage of Synthroid (200 mcg).
I guess the tests were right and I was a bit low.
Just saw my endocrinologist. My TSH is up a bit ...but still within reason (1.7). I can't explain why the same dosage that I was on is now not producing the low TSH and symptoms that it was, but I … more…

Vanessa - Reconstruction I saw my plastic surgeon this week. We're both on the same page as to what needs to be done. She says that there will probably be no drains! That alone has gotten me excited for the surgery. Now I'm just waiting for a call to see when they can get me in. Late August or early September.

Rachelle - Here’s a real shit kicker... So pathology comes back for biopsy taken from supposed recurrence this morning.. Ganglioneuroma is what they said.. rare yes.. why wouldn't it be.. Anyways surgery must go on she says, this I know because it is causing major symptoms. Still leaving a lot up in the air for mystery though, like we are still gonna get some things frozen sectioned while in there to make sure that's all this is and not cancer, I sort of wonder now if this is … more…

Els - Back after a long time.. Hi everybody,
Sorry that I have not been posting since long. I was very ill due to the treatment, which started the first day of the coronoa lock down in Holland.
So much happened in a short while....I had to mobilise my energy (had very little as to none) and stayed just in contact on whatsapp with Susan (also on this blog) who lives in Amsterdam. Susan you were a great help! (she knows :-))
I did not check what you all have been … more…

Rachelle - So this is happening.. So as Thursday approaches rather quickly, so does this realization that I have no biopsy results... a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis. A lack of doctors with any knowledge of sarcoidosis at all, a still unidentifiable spot on my t12 thoracic spine ( I say this as they are calling it a "hemangioma" only because that is what it is claimed to be by some moron radiologist who reads images so therefore it must be true) and the new recurrence which … more…

Tiffany - The battle begins! Hello,
I’m Tiffany. I’m 28 years old and I was very recently diagnosed with something which deep down I feel I sort of always knew I had but was too scared to get it checked out. I was diagnosed with stomach cancer and now my whole world has been turned upside down and I’m feeling so scared and anxious about what the future holds for me. I am to see a specialist on Monday and then I suppose we will discuss … more…
