I am seeking experiences and suggestions regarding next-line treatment options for my wife with HR-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer.

In the first year, her tumor markers 15-3 and 27-29 fluctuated a lot…
Hi All, just about to start this treatment and was wondering if there is anyone already on this combo and could share their experience with me. Thanks in advance 😊
I will complete my first cycle of Xeloda today (2 weeks on; one week off). I have already noticed some signs of HFS on my feet. Sometimes they are red and feel hot. I've had some minor skin peeling, but not any blistering. The heels are the worst (the most sensitive) and it is uncomfortable to walk. I hope I get to see the…
