All is well...

Hi! I've been on the Xeloda for 4 weeks now (2 weeks on, 1 week off, now in 4th week.) and so far so good. I had an appointment with my oncologist last Friday, as well as my Zometa treatment.  She was thrilled that I haven't experienced any significant side effects from the Xeloda.  When I asked about lack of side effects relating to it not working, she said nope, but did increase my dosage since i seem to be handling it so well.  But, I haven't increased it, because every night since I've had pain and tingling on the bottoms of my feet.  Also weird dreams about my foot being broken and waking up with terrible pain in my toes. So, no increase yet for me...waiting to see if this is as bad as it gets.  When i wake up for the day tho, my feet don't hurt, only during the night.  weird, eh? So, I'm sticking with 3 pills in the am and 3 in the evening, and holding off on the 4th pill at night for now.  Have a message in to my oncologist to see what she thinks.
I'm so hoping this is working, I can't wait to see the results in May.  Doc says she has one patient that has been on it continuously for 5 years - not the norm, but it is a possible maintenance drug if it works to control the cancer.  Hope hope!!
