Is there anyone who is using xeloda cream for skin mets. If so how is it working and are you using it with any other drugs. hugs, Sandy

Sandy
My mother in law was given Xeloda cream for a skin cancer on her upper lip...after using it for 2 1/2 months, the area looked worse than it did to begin with. She eventually had to have the area surgically removed....hope it works better for skin mets.

Thanks Sheila: I tried the oral xeloda and that didn't work for me. hugs, Sandy

Hi Sandy, I used one full tube, about a month of once a day. I am also on Oral Xeloda/Cyclophosamide. My breast went red similar to when I had radiatiton, I got some rough patches come up which peeled and now all of breast is smoothe, I am just arranging now to have MRI done for head neck and shoulders so I am asking for the breast as well, so Jury isn't in yet but will let you know as soon as I know.

Love & Hugs Lyn
