Capecitabine / Xeloda

[Lightwinds]

Stage 4 Breast Cancer I just started have had three rounds I feel so much better I was in horrible pain with this one. My second time around in two years . I hope they keep experimenting and have some positive news for triple negative. I had some fatigue but nothing I couldn’t handle sleep has returned and the night sweats are gone ….

I’m glad this medicine is working for you. I have been on this med for about 3 months and I have no side effects from it. I know it’s an old medicine but it makes me feel better than ibrance with letrozole or affinitor did. My tumor markers went down from 1756 to 351 and that was in a month so I’m so to go to m d anderson for the scans very soon. I hope it’s working still. Good luck to you 🙏✝️

That’s so great Capecitabine /Xeloda is working for you. Hoping it benefits you for a long time. I’ve been on this treatment for about a year. I’ve been changed to a week on, week off schedule and it’s very tolerable.

this is all great news. I just started Xeloda one week ago. Praying that it gets rid of my horrible shoulder pain

I have been on Xeloda for a year now and it is keeping everything stable. After the first three months it reduced the cancer in my lungs and liver by 50% and after six months the liver tumours had disappeared.Since then scans show stable but that is good enough for me. I changed from 2 weeks on 1 week off to one week on one week off and now have no side effects...hands and feet not flaking.

I was nervous about going onto chemo after four years of hormonals but am so happy about the measurable reduction of the cancer .

So wishing you all very well as we wait for the scientists to formulate a cure.

Perhaps AI will come up with something!

[Lightwinds in reply to Shafight]

Hi, it took six weeks for the pain to subside it’s better at least not completely gone but sleep has returned no more night sweats
