Xeloda has failed us

Latest CT results show cancer continues to spread within organs so Xeloda not working. Onc decided side effects not worth it and has taken mum off it. It was the final, final treatment. Lymphodemia in second arm so bad now they're not allowed to puncture her there any more, and despite numerous pricking in feet can't get blood from there either. Luckily can get bisphospherates in, just no blood for testing out. So just increasing palliative care now...

Hi

So sorry to hear that your mum's treatment didn't work. I am also looking after my mum who has recently been told they can't do anything for her, just palliative care. It is so terrible feeling so hopeless.

My thoughts and best wishes are with you both.

Love

Wendy
