Hope, I have a chemo buddy who sees the same oncologist as I do; she's been fighting inflammatory bc for 5 years and our onc has devised several "creative combo's" for her. Currently she's on Abraxane/Herceptin and her lesion's are regressing. She was on Xeloda/Herceptin previously until she started progressing again. So I can't answer your question regarding side effects of Xeloda/Abraxane, but she's tolerated Abraxane/Herceptin very well. I don't know much about possible side effects of Abraxane, I'm sorry.
But, I myself am now on Xeloda/Navelbine/Herceptin, with almost no side effects other than low blood counts, and since adding Xeloda we've seen a very good response, so I hope that's encouraging regarding Xeloda. It can be very effective, and from what I've read about Xeloda studies the key to minimizing side effects is to start low, see how the low dose is tolerated, then if indicated gradually build the dose to achieve maximum effectiveness with minimal side effects, as each patient responds differently. I hope that's helpful, and maybe talk to your onc about that approach.
