 I had my appointment with my oncologist today for a refill of my Xeloda pills.


So, here's the update....


I should have started the next cycle of Xeloda chemotherapy today however my white blood cell count is up to 16,000. The normal range is between 4,000 and 10,000. This means that my body is trying to fight something. I was achy this morning until after I took my shower. I told him that's how I was feeling early today but felt okay after the shower. He said he suspects I'm getting a "bug". So, just in case, he told me not to start the chemo today. I am to wait until tomorrow to see how I feel. If I feel okay then I can start it tomorrow. If I feel achy again or worse then I don't start them and I am to call him.


He said that he will schedule another CT scan in about 6 weeks for a follow-up. He will schedule it sooner if I become symptomatic again, i.e., pain.

Fortunately I was able to start taking my chemo today. I feel fine, so far no bug.

I'm glad you don't have a "bug" of some sort. I'd hate to catch it from you next time we're making out....
