Hello Martin, I am sorry it has taken so long to reply, but the last few weeks have been quite hectic with work, appointments, and some miserable cold and windy weather. How have you been since we last wrote? I have been thinking of you and continue sending positive thoughts and prayers your way, as well as to others who are also dealing with cancer in any form. For the most part, my treatment has been going well with the Xeloda, and I just started my 4th cycle yesterday. I have gained some weight and expressed my concern with my oncologist last week, who said that Xeloda can cause weight gain. I expressed my disappointment that no one told me this. While I admit that I overindulged a bit during the holidays, I have been careful for the last few weeks to make sure I don't continue on that path. The Xeloda seems to increase my appetite, and although I get busy during the day, I find myself making sure I take time to eat some lunch, but in the evening is where I really need to be careful so as not to eat later at night before bed. I am hoping our weather will improve so I can start walking outside, which I believe will help quite a bit. Have you experienced any issues with weight gain during your journey? I had read in someone's post that they had gained several pounds, but that was before I started experiencing the same problem. The doctor said things will stabilize, but I am concerned about gaining too much and not fitting into my clothes, and which could cause other issues with blood pressure, etc. How much longer do you have to continue your treatment? I do hope you are getting good results and favorable reports from your doctors. Please let me know how you are doing when you get a chance. Hopefully, Spring will be right around the corner so we can all enjoy some warmer temperatures and be more active. Will be in touch again soon. Warm Regards, Lee
