Hi. Thanks for responding. Could you tell me what dose you were taking? Sounds like you’re no longer on it? It’s good to know that one week on is an option if it gets too tough,

I can't find what we lowered my dose to on my chart because I have had so many treatments that I can't find the ones where those notes are on. But I do have my notebooks I'll try to look through last year's notebooks tomorrow and see I take a lot of notes at my doctor's meetings.

Yes I was not stage four but very close and after extensive chemo and surgery they hadn't gotten all the cancer out so we did radiation to the chest wall to get anything we could there and then I went on xolada to make sure nothing got into the bloodstream.

I think I got off it in June my hands are still cracked, I realized I should still be wearing my spa gloves but I put them aside, silly me. My feet are better than my hands because it's cold now and I wear socks.

I'll post again when I get my doses from my notebooks.
