Hi LuAnn and others,

My doctor just prescribed 3500 mg for 1500 am and 2000 pm. I guess this was based on my weight. 185 lbs and 5'6. Does this sound like a high dose? I start taking them tonight for 24x7 no days off. I have just failed FEC after 6 doses I had a couple more spots show up in my liver for a total of 4. I am very worried/scared. I have had Taxol, Carbo, Naveline, and FEC over the last 2 1/2 years. My doctor said I have been on alot of chemo. Has anyone else had more treatments than this and good results later? Has anyone had good results with the Xeloda? Bye the way back on Herceptin with the Xeloda.

Thanks for any info,

Beth
