Hi Folks
My new onc wanted to try metronomic xeloda to try to maintain my NED status. I was for this approach having had a detailed discussion with a fellow bc survivor in the clinic who had been given 6 months to live and was still at clinic 2 years later. She confided that she had not taken the prescribed dose but a small amount each day and was doing very well!!
My onc was deterred from going ahead with this approach by his colleagues who do not agree less can be more.
