I used Capecitabine as my first line of treatment for Lobular Cancer, one week on and one week off. ER,PR positive, HER negative. I was careful to keep my feet cool, based on an article from Sloan Kettering about Foot and Hand syndrome. It worked for four years, six months. I am grateful for the time it kept my cancer away. Now I am on Faslodex and Verzenio. I just started those treatments, and so far, few side effects.

It took my a lot of discipline to take Capecitabine, but it was worth the work, and my quality of life was good.

Good luck with this treatment!
