Hello @ogf78
Good to hear you also enjoy getting out on your bike and going skiing. My reaction to capecitabine was not severe - mainly tiredness which quickly improved during the week off in each cycle, 2 weeks on and one week off. That lasted for 3 months and I've had no chemo since.
Just starting some ablation of lung cancer now but looking forward to the ski season!
All best.
Martin

Hi there. I saw your comment "Just starting some ablation of lung cancer now but looking forward to the ski season!"
Could you tell me more about it? I have multifocal lung cancer and have had two VAT surgeries and 3 days of SBRT to treat a total of 4 nodules. My PET yesterday shows another cancer in same lobe as previous SBRT. I developed radiation induced pneumonitis from the SBRT and lost lung function and more SBRT has increased risk for another pneumonitis. Ablation is a safer option for me. Chat gpt gives one a lot of info! Next week I will have to ask doctors what is the plan, but not to wait could you tell us more? What kind are you doing and where? What lead up to that choice ?
Oh, and about the skiing, I skied in Italy, know Cortina?
