Chest pains and capecitabine

Hi ,

How did your husband get on with his oncologist today ? 

Hope it went ok and he is feeling better .

Court 

Thanks for asking Court, she asked questions etc but he had chest pains again yesterday but not as bad at all so because of that she got him to have another ecg and more bloods taken but said ecg ok see him again on Tuesday  we were told it’s a rare side effect less than 5% so very unlucky I guess.  

Our daughter was with us and she asked about chemo after surgery and she said don’t worry there other chemo drugs, again we will have to wait and see and just do this one day at a time.

i have read others posts and can see set backs others have and had and how they accepted and overcame,

i was not in a good place on Tue but more accepting today and less anxious 

i guess there is little if anything we can do to change it,

my mantra was and is when I remember these days !!!!

The Serenity Prayer

accept the things you cannot change

change the things you can..

and the wisdom to know the difference 

thanks Court xx

Sorry he is still having chest pain , hopefully that will subside soon . So pleased his ECG was looking good .

She sounds as though she has a back up plan if required and that’s great news . Now to just get him through this part .

I think you are doing incredibly well . There are so many aspects to adjust to and I found once you understand the process and the options to overcome the side effects it becomes more manageable. But I always say to my family I only get anxious because I care and I will never apologise for caring . 

I love the serenity pray,

take care ,

Court
