Mum starting capecitabine

galaxy2022

Hi all,

My mum has sbc. She has mets in her stomach, lymph nodes and two small nodules in her lungs (they aren't sure 100% if it is in lungs but they're assuming that's what it is). She now has a stoma as the cancer was blocking her bowel.

My mum originally had breast cancer in 2013 and it was er positive and her2 negative. The sbc is er neg, pr neg and her2 neg. Does this mean its now triple negative?

My mum is starting capecitabine on Thursday. She's got eucerin cream so she can start moisturising now. Also going to order udderly cream and cotton gloves today.

Does anyone else have any suggestions and should mum start using a mild mouthwash incase her mouth gets sore?

Thank you xxx
