to eat real food. We've not only gotten her a burger, but, we went out for
dinner on two occasions and she's been able to eat a wider variety of foods
without 'dire' consequences. Not out of the woods yet, her hands are still
a bit red and, oddly, her feet and hands are more sore now than they were
when we first stopped the Xeloda. Somewhere over the weekend, Kris noted
that the skin of her fingers is peeling, we're confident that this is a
side effect of the Xeloda.

Saw Dr. Moran prior to Kris infusion of Taxotere and Herceptin. He wants
us to stay off of Xeloda for one more week. We'll see an assistant, as
he'll be away from the office, next week. Unfortunately, the best
appointment we could get was Thursday. Infusion went without incident.

Taxotere and Herceptin are kicking in. She didn't sleep well but, she's in
good spirits. Hands and feet still sore and a bit red.
Thursday 19-June-2008
Kris slept well, which is always good, but, the Taxotere has her feeling
like she's got a cold. No real fever but, achy and run down.
Spirits are good... amazing what a good meal can do on that front. Note
that I haven't been able to switch over to the blog yet... we have an
appointment with Dr Jones tomorrow and I hope to make note of that in the
Blog. If I can transition to making daily comments there, then I will make
comments on this list at something like weekly intervals (much like it is
now) but, it may well be longer intervals. Oh, I'm getting a lot of
comments and updates by anonymous... which is fine. I understand all too
well wanting to not sign up for yet more spam. For the record, I've gotten
no new influx of spam that I can associate with blogger.com. Having said
that, those who want to remain anonymous to the web site, it would be nice
if you put some form of name or moniker in the post so that I can figure
out who said it. Truly this isn't important but, it'd be nice. :)
Many thanks again for all the well wishes!
