Dear Barbs,
I don't think anyone here can tell you whether the Xeloda "is it worth the time, expense and pain?" We, including me, are not medical professionals and I suggest you speak to a
Breast Medical Oncologist to get a second opinion on your case, if you are willing to, rather than relying on anyone here.
Depending on where you live, your insurance coverage and willingness to travel I may be able to find someone you can speak to who is knowledgeable about TNBC and
may reaffirm the Xeloda suggestion or not.
I have helped many who have taken Xeloda and here is a link from Mayo Clinic that describes the drug and if you scroil down you will see many side effects listed. If you decide to take the drug you may experience some of the side effects, but, often, not all of them. From my experience you may experience some of them but everyone is different and the side effects are often different for each person.
Here is the link-
Steve
