I Guess I Should Update You

I'm sure everyone has heard by now, but just in case you didn't, things are not going well. I found out on voting day that the taxol and avastin had stopped working and that my cancer had for sure spread to my liver. Lots of tests later and a major doctor switch told us that it has spread to my bones too. My new doctor decided to go with an oral chemo called Xeloda. I have been on that every other week since November. We have yet to find out if it is working, but the terrible pain I was having in my liver went away as soon as I started taking it, so we are hopeful. I have had to get used to feeling nauseous though when I am on it. Other than that, we are great. Just trying to get back in the swing on thing after Christmas break. I have a 2 1/2 year old on my lap screaming for noggin.com, so I'm going to have to end my post there. Love you all. Thank you for all the prayers and cards.
