Xeloda

I did.  I took AC x 4, 12 weekly Taxol with concurrent Herceptin and 30 rads tx for my initial dx of IDC.  (Had lumpectomy and axillary node dissection with 2/8 nodes malignant.) While in the midst of my rads and while still on Herceptin, I was dx with IBC.  I went to MD Anderson Cancer Center and my onc there stopped the Herceptin and switched me to 6 months of Xeloda along with Tykerb.  After one day of being on these two new drugs, I saw improvement in my IBC rash.  Everyone thought, sure, wishful thinking on my part.  But, I was right and within a month, the rash was totally gone and all my other IBC symptoms were much improved.  I also had a PET/CT a month after being on the 2 drugs which showed me to be NED.  I stopped the Xeloda after 6 months and had a mx and another axillary node dissection.  Pathology showed no remaining cancer.  Stayed on the Tykerb and am still on it for 22 months now.  Still NED.  I was stage IIB with my IDC, but stage III with my IBC.  So, to answer your question --- yes, I had success with Xeloda (and Tykerb) at stage III.  Good luck to you
