Hi,
TNBC Breast Ca. Had surgery 15 months back and took 4 rounds of FEC and 4 rounds of Taxol. But Now Mets at lymphnodes within 8 months finishing chemo. Doctors advising 3 rounds of Gemcide + carboplatin ( another doctor adviced Ixempra + Xeloda). what should be done? any suggestion ? age 35 any suggestion will be welcome. Looking for opinions of Steve also.

Hi Coolgirl,
I just wanted to let you know that I had Carboplatin and Gemcitabine (Gemzar) with my recurrence. I had 4 rounds of the chemo. We scanned after 2 cycles that showed no evidence of disease, then proceeded with 2 more cycles. After chemo, I followed up with radation. Will you be getting radiation too? I'm sorry I don't have any experience with Ixempra and Xeloda. Donna Edited by 123Donna - Jul 31 2013 at 11:49am |
