Hi Barbara,
I have been on xeloda for the last 2 months with very little side effects. It has been by far the easiest treatment I have been on. It is supposed to work well with herceptin and the new trial, tykerb. I havn't been on herceptin since Dec. 05.
I had a 5 1/2 month break from all but zometa for the bone mets. I started xeloda in August. I was on 4000mg dailly for 2 weeks, then 1 week off. Doc dropped me back to 3000mg daily, as my feet were swelling. I'm also on lasix.
If I don't qualify for the tykerb, I might ask Doc if I can go back on herceptin with xeloda.
Blessings from Lu Ann
