Living with cancer Capecitabine

Capecitabine

Offline helbabe over 5 years ago

Hi all,

Have stage 4 breast cancer and on capecitabine after trying other things over last year that didn't work.

Scans this week showed liver mets shrinking and no further spread in bones or new mets.

Walked over 200 miles in January to raise money for local charity.

Side effects of capecitabine not good but sooo happy to be on this treatment!!!

Hello,
It’s brilliant that after a year of other treatment you had been offered capecitabine and it’s working out extremely well for you with your results.
Side effects of all types of Chemotherapy are not good and vary in each one of us.
Your short post is a positive response to the fight against cancer including your walk for charity after 12 months of treatment.
Well done and best wishes!.
