I have been given option of either of these two drugs and wondered if anyone could give me an idea of their experience of side effects. I know everyone is different but would appreciate some feedback please.
Hopefully it won't be long until some of our members share their experiences of these drugs with you Jaymac but I hope this information we have about paclitaxel and capecitabine will help you whilst you wait.
If you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.
We hope you're able to come to a decision soon and all goes well with your chosen course of treatment.
Thank you Steph. I have hospital appt tomorrow and will have to come to a decision. Will do as you suggest and call nurses. Thanks again for replying. June
I've got stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer and after having several allergic reactions to herceptin I was put on lapatinib and capeciteabine in September 21. I have had some issues with rashes and diarrhea but once my dosage was reduced by 25% I've been ok.
