Last Friday, I had my fourth cycle of chemotherapy at BIO with Cetuximab and Irinitecan. I continued the oral administration of Xeloda, 3 x 500 mg in the morning and 3 x 500 mg in the night! I had been taking the same drugs for my earlier doses of chemotherapy too and the resulting side-effects, more important one, had been tremendous loss of hair! (See my pics attached!)

Also, I was advised to take the Neupogen injection per day for four days since the administration of Irinotecan may induce neutrohil count to go down in the blood. Since the injection is the sub-cutaneous one and given that BIO is around 16 kms from my home, I preferred to take the injection in the local Ketham's Hospital. :)
