A woman in my local support group had the same type of recurrence (she is triple negative). She received 1000mg per day of Xeloda while getting rads (after additional surgery) to help sensitize the cancer cells and ensure better knock down. This is a low dose of Xeloda if you were receiving it as chemo for a systemic relapse.

Hope this helps.
