So far she has received anastozole, nolvadex for the early stage, and for mbc fulvestrant +ibrance, paclitaxel, capecitabine, she is currently on vinorelbine iv. He has metastases on the liver and bones, so far he is stable.

Anyone get bad rashes taking Xeloda ( Capecitabine ) ?

Prior to this medication I was on Capecitabine for a PIC3 mutation and prior to that Piqray. Does any one know what meds work to target both mutations simultaneously?

I am about to take capecitabine (Xeloda) and because of a mutation also about to take Neratinib (nerlynx). They really talk about nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Bad enough that I have to go in and make sure I’m not malnourished which is making me apprehensive about taking this medicine.

hi I’ve just started taking capecitabine 500mg x5 twice a day Day 5 I’ve experienced within this time -nausea and vomiting , frequent stools, pressure around sinuses , temporal headaches and pain in lower back and hips and fatigue mostly afternoon. Is this to be expected?

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

Tomorrow I start taking Capecitabine ( Xeloda) a chemo drug. 3 x 150 twice a day. 2 weeks on 1 week off. I was wondering if any of you have been on this regime and have any tips for me. Many thanks.

Capecitabine is my first chemo treatment. I am ER + Her2- with tumors in spine only. Any comments appreciated.

This endeavor, called “Project Renewal,” recently updated the dosage label for the oral chemotherapy drug capecitabine (Xeloda) to make it more tolerable, and there will likely be more to come!

As some of you know from my last couple of posts, I’m coming off the Ibrance/ Anastrozole cocktail and I have to choose between a trial, in which I will get served up either Piqray or Capecitabine/Xeloda. Or just go the Capecitabine way.

Dr Google shows it's a known issue for a breast cancer drug called capecitabine. Anyone else experience this?

I have found that the sea and sand take away the red blistery feet caused from Capecitabine… I will put some pictures below… I feel nostalgic for this beach where I had my home until one year ago and this beach which I walked swam at every day.

Cindy and Dan had decided to stay for 3 more weeks of summer fun…. but we had to go now since we had a time sensitive dog sitter at home AND most importantly being on a new med( Capecitabine) I needed to go home to scans and assessments.

I’ve been on xeloda for almost 5 mo now. 3x 500mg twice a day . One week on.. one week off. Wondered what schedules others are on. Also how often do you see onc and how often do you do bloodwork? So far xeloda seems to be working… which is great!! Just wondered about the timing etc! Thanks.

The trial included 608 patients randomly assigned (2:1) to either T-DXd or TPC (trastuzumab plus capecitabine or lapatinib plus capecitabine). The researchers found that patients had a median of two prior lines of systemic therapy (excluding hormone therapy) in the metastatic setting.

I am a POC (son schooled me saying it means person of color — millennials!). Well I am a Black woman with MBC. I have had unusual horrible experiences while on Xeloda! Instead of getting blisters and burns on feet and hands the bottom of my feet are darkened turning the color black ⚫️and so are my hands

I’m still very lucky to be on oral therapy… now capecitabine which I started just before I left on this trip in January. But enough about me when so many are really suffering… The cyclone hit on Feb13th causing almost unfathomable damage..

, paclitaxel plus gemcitabine, or capecitabine plus vinorelbine).

Since about three months ago she's doing metronomic capecitabine (1,500 mg/day nonstop), no side effects, hope it's working. I wanted to ask if any of you do metronomic capecitabine with positive results Thank you :)
