I like the idea of a low dose to continue on Xeloda for a longer term. I heard the side effects can be hand/foot numbness, but don't know if it would work either, but it is a good question to ask your Onc. Also, there is a cream called Miltex made in Germany that is impossible to get to the U.S., BUT it works well on skin mets. I have permission from Sandra Henry, HER2+, Inflamatory BC patient to have you call here at her home in Maine if you are interested to know more about Miltex for skin mets. It is not FDA approved and therefore is illegal to sell in the states.
Her # is 207-634-4921. Hope his helps. hugs, Christine
