Chemo questions
I posted this on the IBC forum but didn't get any responses, so I'll try here.
My onc wants to put me back on Xeloda even though I have no signs of the IBC rash, no symptoms, and my last scan was clear. His thoughts are I am young and why change what was working. I had a chemo break for surgery.
I am due for another scan but even if that is clear; he wants me on chemo.
I don't understand why I can't just stay on Tykerb. Hate the thought of being back on chemo.
Any thoughts?
