    A4ggy,

    You may feel better if you get a second opinion. The website cancer.gov has a chat box where you can ask questions like where are the nearest places to you to get a second opinion. I'd recommend a university or large treatment center and definitely see a breast cancer specialist.

    Hi there everyone,

    I am "doubleposting" in this thread, so sorry to those of you who might see this twice. I am (obviously :)) also triple negative and am so grateful for this forum! I am from the US, but am now living in Vienna, Austria. It is not yet standard here to treat patients adjuvantly with Xeloda (It is only used for metastasis).

    I had good response to AC + T, but not complete. I guess the right way to call the response is: ypT1c, with 0/17 nodes (At biopsy, 2 nodes tested positive). I completed chemotherapy in March 2017, then surgery in April and completed radiation in July 2017.

    I have just now learned about the study from Japan that was published last summer and am really excited to try Xeloda, despite some of the side effects. But I am "outside" the parameters of the study, since I completed radiation 6 months ago.

    My question: 1) Does anyone have experience with taking Xeloda this much after treatment has ended (6 months)?

    I wish I had know about Xeloda earlier! Thank you from Vienna.

    Hi


    I am supposed to get in trial and may get xeloda or carboplatin. My concern is the capecitabine ARM of trial if I get accepted is given (1000 mg/m2 twice daily day 1–14 every 3 weeks × 6 cycles).


    It seems to low of a Dose


    Any feedback? On the dosage
