Xeloda for Liver Mets??
Hi All,
I'm bummed! My 4 month vacation from chemo is about to end. It was sooooo goood while it lasted. My CAT scan showed 2 large liver spots (7 cm and 1.5 cm - yowza) and 2 smaller ones (4mm). Lymph nodes are, of course, joining in the show. So my onc and I had discussed Xeloda and Tykerb as my next step. With that one met being so large, I'm concerned if Xeloda is the knockout punch I need. Have any of you had good luck with Xeloda for large, stubborn liver mets?
Have I mentioned that I'm BUMMED!
Donna
