Xeloda and TNBC

@breastcancerpartner I, too, did chemo first (4 AC and 12 Taxol w/ 3 Carbo), then had a BMX. During surgery one of my lymph nodes tested positive. I started 3000 mg dosage of Xeloda six weeks post surgery. I didn't do radiation at that point as RO and 2nd opinion RO, thought it was not necessary.
Three months into Xeloda I developed a "blemish" that was watched and biopsied six months later during my exchange surgery, and, it was determined to be a recurrence. I was devastated. MO, RO and surgeons were surprised. Ended up doing 5 weeks of radiation and six weeks later I started 8 more cycles of Xeloda. It's been a year since my last dose. So far so good.
I hope everything goes well for your wife.

Hi Breastcancerpartner.
I started Xeloda approximately one month after radiation therapy was completed. MO wanted to make sure that I had a break to allow healing from radiation before beginning xeloda.
I was on Xeloda for about 6 months (the cycle was 2 weeks taking Xeloda daily, one week off).
