Oh Veggy  Hugs from here. So glad MO has a plan for you. When do you start? Hope these make you smile at least.

That sounds like a good call. I was on Xeloda for a while and it worked well, with little side effects for me, which turned out to be hand and foot. I wish I could have kept taking it. I know its supposed to be good.

veggy - here is another linkfor Zelda with help for SE's.  http://community.breastcancer.org/topic_post?forum_id=8&id=781957&page=1  Just remember you won't have them all! 

Yes, Genentech has the co-pay program.  Your onc's office should have info, but mine did not.  However, the specialty pharmacy they use to mail you the drug did have the info, so if they ask you if you need financial support, tell them yes. That way they handle it for you.  OR you can just go online at the Xeloda site and sign up for the copay card and their support program.  They will send the copay card and their 'getting started' pouch with info in it.

My SEs seem to be amplified by the Ixempra.  Many of the SEs are the same so it's difficult to separate them.  However, I think the Evil Ixempra is the worst of the two for SEs. 

p.s.  Forget the big girl panties and just go commando.

Veggy, these gals know a lot more about what you are going through than I do..... I can just offer you a shoulder to cry on, and a hand to hold... xoxoxoxoxo

Chevette - the situation sucks big time. My DH has fallen off the wagon twice since the big incident in June. Both were one nighters and he stayed away from me, deeply regretting the lapse the next day. Last one was 2 nights ago.  All I can say is that the disease is a terrible one, especially for the family. Horrible, really, because it's self-inflicted. 

I want to quit cancer.

Veg, it sure ain't for sissies is it?

Veggy--I'm so sorry u know that--wear or don't wear u'r big girls panties-it's u'r call but whoever took my big girl panties and put them on this thread--no names mentioned--(luvmygoats) had better bring them back to me. Veggy I'm glad they have a "plan" for u and u'r a fighter so just kick it's A$$, damn cancer.

I'm having myself a pity party for a couple days. I'm allowed. Then I'll pick myself up and deal with it like a fighter. Maybe we should have the traveling Big Girl Panties. They can be sent to whoever needs them. Joking People!

For now I found out that my  cousin had her baby, a boy, today. She was 10 days overdue. I can't wait to see what he looks like.

Okay little Cammi..... Yes, we can still talk about it though....   A "surgeon" eh?  He will have all of your tests and xrays....etc?   Someone HAS to have an idea of what is going on! 

And you too Veggy..... You are MORE than allowed to feel anyway you want....Sometimes we complain, and whine, but it all usually works out.....  I don't want to complain about my stupid  life anymore either.... It all works out.

one day at a time..........

Interesting.

Maryonthefloor I'm so glad u'r happy with this--someone has to help u do the pictures--look who's talking. and Jordan bless his heart, see how much they notice about us. LOL That's cuz they love us.

Chevy, understand, my situation is different with DDBF, but the same in that I don't want to kick him to the curb. Do what you need to do and we'll all be here for you to vent when you need too. L&H&P's

Cami your right you have all the ducks lined up. So, unless you want too quack  about something, I'll wait in the duck blind quietly LOL.

Veggy Hugs, with you all the way:)

Chevy I have a new skin sensitivity that I had to be kicked in the head to realize it was a problem. K-yjelly. Miserable since colonoscopy couldn't sit down. Then the hands went nuts. Using all the tricks I know, butt they aren't working fast enough. It's always something.

Picked up the pathology report from the polypectomies from tues on wed at med records office. All three polyps negative.

Shellshiner Hugs, do what you have to do and we are here for you too.

Just a reminder about getting that letter from Bank of America re: your mortgage that you paid off (10,000$). Most people have never heard of it. I may have the name a bit incorrect, but if memory serves me correct, it's called "Letter of Satisfaction of Mortgage". Once you get it and record it at the county clerks office, it prevents the previous mortgage lender from saying you didn't pay off the mortgage. Legally can be a big deal if mortgage company screws up their paperwork. Since Bank of America has lawsuits against them for screwing up allot, by foreclosing and selling properties that have paid off mortgages, and in one case they didn't even hold the mortgage, please, be safe and get that letter.

I learned about it when I took my Real Estate classes (yeah, did real estate too). When I asked my mortgage holder for the letter, it took months. But I made weekly calls till it was done. They couldn't produce the deed, but they had letters of transfer that said they owned the paper. So, floating out there somewhere is my deed. BUT because of that letter and the recording, IF someone comes forward to declare they have a legal interest in my property. That letter will protect me. But even more important is, it is recorder at the County Clerks Office. Legally what this means is the letter met all the requirements of the Clerk's office to be recorded.

Not to beat a dead horse, but when a property is sold(bought), all the sale documents are recorded, inclusive, of the deed. So, even though the mortgage lender couldn't return my original deed b/c it was recorded at time of sale, the "letter of satisfaction" closes the loop. So, when I go to sell the house and the title is searched. The title company is responsible for finding all these details and documenting them from the County record. Therefore, there will be no impediment to the sale of the property. BUT another BUT having personal "Title Insurance" which is offered at time of purchase is important. The mortgage lender requires it to approve a mortgage, but it doesn't protect the buyer, the extra cost at purchase time of personal Titile Insurance is worth it. There's more to it, but this is already more than you ever wanted to know LOL.

EDIT: In a do over, when I paid the house off, I would have paid a title company to perform the final steps that I did independently.

Everyone that's chemoing and radiating hope you feel better for the weekend.
