After receiving Chemo treatment, having surgery, and doing radiation and immunotherapy for TNBC has anyone taken the drug Xeloda? If anyone has, what are your thoughts about the drug?
My oncologist told me that I may need to if I didn’t get complete pathological response (pCR) from chemo. He gave told me to read the Create X study, which had great results from taking Xeloda. I told him I was interested in taking Xeloda. I did get pCR, so wasn’t eligible.
Wishing you well!
I took Xeloda back in 2019 at the end portion of my treatment. I had read a study about the efficacy of low dosing on this drug and showed it to my oncologist who is also a researcher in this field. She allowed me to low dose for the first 6 months and if scans(at 6 months) didn't show good results then I agreed to up the dose. Even on low dose my body had a hard time for the first several months while adjusting. But, after the majority of my more annoying side effects went away. I had favourable scan results at my 6 month mark and was able to stay on a low dose for the duration.
Me too. Was supposed to take it. But, no.
