        Have been on Z for about a month.  Little joint pain, no significant foot sensitivity.  Oncologist reduced dose to 6 tablets a day as had constant headache.  Continue to have much fatique.  Bubbly rashes on elbows have stopped.  Intermitent bowel issues.  I have canker sores on tongue and gums making eating a challenge.  No kidney or liver problems to date.  Do not know of response by mets yet, but I am hopeful the side effects are worth the hassle.  Also hopeful that itching, fatigue and bowel upset will abate in time.

        Prayers and best wishes to our fellow sufferers……………………..Russ
