Imlistening, you might also be interested in this related discussion that @pattycron started and others like @kk57 @old @omaegg @jackiestack took part in.
- Capecitabine (Xeloda) side effects: how do you manage them? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/xeloda-oral-chemo/
Patty too has triple negative breast cancer and had chemo, surgery and radiation.
Xeloda isn’t really a new drug, but I am sure they are using it in new protocols all the time. When you mentioned the hand and foot syndrome are you referring to heat/cold sensitivity, or more neuropathy? I think all chemo therapies have side effects but some are only temporary to the treatment period. Has your doctor or oncology nurse discussed any of this with you?
