Are there others out there taking Xeloda?

I have been successfully taking Xeloda for the past two years. I don't see any topics on this drug after 2011. I take two pills twice a day one week on and one week off. I do have some reaction in my feet-some numbness and a little burning but my doctor has it under control by reducing my dose. My ER+ cancer changed to ER- two years ago so I had four months of infusions and really like being able to take the pills instead. Recently a small lesion was detected on my liver and it was found to have changed to ER+. So now I'm also taking a hormone lowering drug as well as Xeloda. I am surprised that Xeloda is not used more often-I imagine it is due to the feet problem but my doctor was diligent in managing it before it became a serious problem. I have METS in my bones and lungs and have had pleural effusions but that is not currently a problem. I was originally diagnosed with BC in 1996 and it reoccured as Stage IV in 2013.
