Update

It's been a while since I've posted.

For about the past month I've been doing a new chemo (Xeloda, in pill form) and radiation. The current plan is to continue this regiment until Oct 8th at which point I will take about a month off for my body build up its strength in preparation for surgery some time in November.

So far the radiation hasn't given me too much trouble other than some mild diarrhea and a little irritation. The main problem I'm having now is the tingling in my hands and feet. It's quite irritating and seems to be getting progressively worse.

I'm also experience trouble balancing. I can't stand for more than a few seconds with my eyes closed before I start to fall over. It's very very odd.

Otherwise I'm handling this new regiment quite well. It's a hell of a lot better than the previous chemo I was on. I just hope it's working as well.
