Good luck. I trust and appreciate my knowledgeable Oncology team, but I ask many questions. They have been patient and thorough. I understand that the treatments you are considering are good ones. In 2018 I was diagnosed with MBC, and due to some testing challenges, my Doctor recommended a Chemo called Capecitabine. I have been on it for 4 1/2 years, and my PET scans done every 5 months show no return of Cancer. When it does return, they will change my treatment. I feel like I am buying time for the better treatments in research today.

Jackie....thank you for your reply. You have a very positive mindset regarding buying time for better treatments. There has been a lot of cancer in my family and am amazed at the progress being made in treatment. Wishing you the best!
