Hi everyone! I finished chemo about 7 weeks ago, and had a double mastectomy 4 1/2 weeks ago....I had no lymph node involvement and my tumor shrunk more then half, but was still there....so my oncologist wants to put me on Xeloda for about 4 months (Starting after radiation ends) He said there have been some great studies in the past year or 2 showing lower reoccurance rates in early stage breast cancer when given Xeloda for residual cancer (I included an article I found) IS anyone else doing this? or going to do this? Just trying to find some other people who may be going through the same types of treatment. :-)
