Wonderful news: My MRI doesn't show anything that would require surgery, so I am free to go ahead and start paZOPanib tonight! Finally! Woo Hoo!
I need to take it with a lot of water either one hour before or two hours after a meal. I considered taking it before breakfast, or after dinner... Lou and I think that it might be easier to take 2 hours after dinner (which would prohibit evening snacking, hee hee).
More wonderful news: I am no longer barfing. Today I went to work and got a lot done.
Life is good.
The MRI shows multiple bulging discs, which isn't great. In the past, physical therapy helped with a bulging disc, so I am going to jump back into that. I have an appointment with Jaime at Avante tomorrow monring. Jaime is awesome.

Hi Karen,
I just wanted to share with you that I take Tykerb, which has to be taken an hour before or an hour after eating. I felt like I should warn you that it is not so good for you to lie down after taking a strong drug. I had come to the conclusion, before I knew any better, to take it at 7:00 a.m. and go back to sleep. I did that for about a year and now I have a chronic esophageal problem. So the moral of the story is that you should take the drug when you will be upright for awhile.
Best of luck and I hope the chemo goes smoothly.
Hi There!!! Glad that the Barfing has Stopped and that You can Start Taking Chemo!!! Love and Hugs, Sharon from Bellevue, WA
