I don't know too much about Xeloda except what I've researched on the net, and of course what I've experienced.
I've been on Herceptin for a year and a half. I was on Taxol, cytoxin and Herceptin, that worked well, and I was herceptin only for 6 months. When my markers went up, they added Taxotere, and this did not work at all. They discovered brain mets in June of this year, and put me on Xeloda, as it might cross the blood brain barrier. I had WBR, then they added the herceptin back in. So now I'm on xeloda, herceptin. I'm taking 6 pills a day, so 3000 mg. I'm just starting to get the dry hands syndrome, but not bad. I have some loss of appetite, but after gaining 40 lbs while on Decadron, I don't mind losing a little weight. All in all I feel good while on it. It's two weeks on one week off. I get Herceptin every week. And, my tumor markers keep dropping, so that's good.
Good luck!
