I met with Niall on Wed and we decided to postpone this weeks treatment until next week . We will also reduce the Xeloda from 4 + 3 a day to 3 + 2 a day. This will reduce some side effects particularly the hands & feet . This is important as it can cause permanent nerve damage as it has a cumulative affect.
Now for the good news . The CT scan results showed that a number of the lymph nodes which were previously visible are no longer visible and the large mass in the stomach has markedly reduced. Niall said that although he can't be certain that the herceptin has made the difference it is obvious that the combination is working. So it is worth paying for and I shall again this round.
Now to just get some level of fitness back before next week.
Have a great weekend.
