Hello, I am so pleased that you are feeling much better and enjoyed your holiday celebration. I totally agree that eating fresh fruit and vegetables is the best way to keep a balanced diet. I have started to add more of those foods to my daily routine, but still need to do more. Walking is a great way to get exercise and reduce stress, and I'm so glad it is helping with your energy level. Due to my sciatica flare ups, I have to limit my walking and standing for the time being until I get my next steroid injection in my back, which is scheduled for early February. It is always something. That's interesting about the Chinese food being a bit too spicy. A few weeks after my colon surgery I was craving my favorite eastern Indian food, so I ordered takeout. Even though I ordered it mildly spicy, I ate a third of it and realized my system is just not ready. Hopefully, that will improve over time. I am tolerating the Xeloda for the most part, but still do get that constipation, but it is slowly improving. I will know more this coming Friday when I see my oncologist. Until then, I hope your next cycle goes well, and that you continue feeling better. I will be in touch again soon. Stay warm and safe.
