A few things of happened since my last post. On the fifth round of FOLFOX I a-fib again. I went to the hospital and had several EKGs done. I was given a heart monitoring system that I had to wear for the next four weeks. My oncologist team decided that I was having too many issues and canceled FOLFOX round six. Initially I was told I would be given a six-week break from chemotherapy. I saw the oncologist three weeks after my fifth round of FOLFOX and he decided to start me on Xeloda immediately. It is a pill regiment and I have to take four pills every morning and four pills every night on top of the several other pills that I'm taking already. Xeloda makes me tired and sometimes a little queasy. I also get a tingling in my hands and feet but at least I have not a-fibed again. While wearing the heart monitor I did not have another reoccurrence. I am still not working but I have good news. I have gained back 17 pounds since surgery. I have a few pictures that I would like to post but my computer crashed. Once I get a new computer, I will be able to post some more current pictures.
