Kris,
So glad to hear your Dad is hanging in there. I don't remember if I mentioned to you earlier (my mind is retaining less and less lately), but we did change our Xeloda doses quite a while back to lessen some side effects. We went to 500mg pills, two in the morning and two in the evening, but, only for 10 days starting with the IV treatments. This then gives us 11 days or 18 days OFF the Xeloda (depending on whether we are doing a 3 week cycle or 4 week cycle). We also did change the IV's to 3 to 4 weeks depending on neutrofil counts vs. CA19 tumor markers. 3 weeks are usually better for the tumor markers and tougher on the white blood cell counts. It has also helped Rick feel better on the long cycles for travel. We have recently been going 3,4,3,4 etc. and so far seems to be working well and he is usually just tired for a couple of days after infusion. Check with Dad's doctor to see if some schedule change might be of use for him. Hang in there and keep the faith.......
Love and Peace,
Scott
