Longest time on Xeloda?

[BangorBelle56]

Getting a bit ahead of myself, but think this is my next port of call 😀

2 months, hoping for 2 years! I’ve seen someone post here that was on it that long. Just want to send a little encouragement....my CA 15-3 has dropped 330 points in the two months I’ve been on Xeloda and I truly feel better than I have since diagnosis almost 2 years ago. I had very mild queasiness the first few days and felt a little more tired but as the weeks have passed I don’t notice a difference between my Xeloda on and off weeks. No issues yet with hand/foot syndrome, perhaps because of my lower dose (1300 mg am/pm) and 7 days on/7 days off schedule. If you do start it I wish you the same results. We can be Xeloda buddies! And your view is exquisite!

I feel pretty good about getting 3 years!! Stay on it as long as you can ..... now I’m in my 3rd treatment and nothing is working like the xeloda did!

[MacroMom in reply to MMMP]

That IS encouraging, thanks!

Xeloda is my next step. Scared of side effects, anxiety coming back. Hate this damn disease.

[BangorBelle56 in reply to Francesca10]

I am sure you will do great on it x

Damn cancer!

I am on my 5th month of Xeloda, and feeling pretty good. Fatigue is my worst side effect.....some months are better than others. But my tumor markers continue to decline, and I feel positive about that! I want to be a Xeloda buddy, too! This site keeps me hopeful and wonderful to communicate with fellow sisters who are in the same situation!

Thank you for that encouragement. Starting this week😳🙏🏻💕

Most women here seem to report good results on Xeloda with few side effects.

I hope and pray it will be your magic bullet to kill off your damn cancer!
