Absolutely, she is on a two week cycle on and two weeks off of chemo. For all 14 days of the cycle she takes Capecitabine 500mg tablets, and from day 10 - 14 of each cycle she takes in addition to the Capecitabine, Temozolomide 100mg tablets. She has completed six straight cycles since April diagnosis, with a probable continuance until there is no more improvement, then possible surgery on the mass around the pancreas once it is the smallest the chemo can get it. Our follow-up with Froedert is November 29th, to make final decision. As I mentioned before, there are certainly still good and bad days still, but she has been able to continue to work part-time through all cycles, as a small side benefit, with no loss of hair.
