Does anyone have triple negative breast cancer?
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Aug 21, 2018 | Replies (21)Comment receiving replies
Looking for any experiences with Xeloda. TNBC diagnosed in March 2016 had chemo, lumpectomy and radiation. Nov. 24, 2017 discovered it metastasized to the brain with 2 tumors. Surgery and cyber knife radiation. Scans were looking ok until July when they saw 2 new tumors in the brain but also found it moved to lungs in the form of several tumors. Started Xeloda Saturday at 2000mg morning and 2000mg evening. Of course I have read everything there is about it but was wondering if anyone had any personal experience they could share.

Thank you for the links. I will check them out. Yes it has only been a few days but I guess I'm just a little nervous thinking that the bottom is going to drop out soon as far as side effects. I was also looking for any comments about success or failure on Xeloda.

Hi @kerstin1, Welcome to Connect.

@regionrat took Xeloda for breast cancer for a while and may be able to share her experiences with you.
Kerstin, I know it's only been a few days, but how are you doing on Xeloda so far? Is there something in particular that you are concerned about based on your readings so far?
