0906 -
090601 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0000, ref SDS 6 0000.
090602 -
090603 - Millie has felt stronger the past week, since ending the 2nd week of
090604 - the 4th cycle of treatment with Taxotere and Xeloda (capecitabine).
090606 -  ..
090607 - Millie has not been up to doing more hiking, as she did previously on
090608 - 050617, ref SDS 6 0001, which aligns with the doctor's report on
090609 - 030606 that debilitating side effects accumulate with successive
090610 - chemotherapy treatments. ref SDS 1 ED8H
090612 -  ..
090613 - Peeling and blistering on her right foot have completely ended.
090614 - There has been no peeling and blistering on the left foot.
090616 -  ..
090617 - A new problem began occurring two (2) days ago.  Millie noticed her
090618 - ankles and to a lessor extent her feet are swelling.  This is more
090619 - pronounced on the left foot, which is the side infected by IBC.
090621 -  ..

090623 - sleeping.

090627 - Clinc today, the nurse and the pharmacist indicated that tearing and
090628 - swelled feet reflect water retention, which is a side effect of
090629 - Taxotere.  They indicated these are mild issues, and expressed the
090630 - view that lower side effects of Xeloda is a better signal than
090631 - occurance of mild side effects of Taxotere. ref SDS 8 NY4F
