Anyone had capecitabine for Triple Negative Breast Cancer?

Hi, I've had chemo for 6mo this followed by Lumpectomy and then 4 weeks radiotherapy.  For triple neg breast cancer.  I now have a choice to do 6 months on capecitabine.  Has anyone had this choice and what did you do?  Any regrets with your choice and why. I'm technically cancer free so this would be preventative action.

  • Hi LLCoolJ and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm really glad to see your cancer free although I'm sorry about the tricky decision you're now facing.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will get back to you soon but in the meantime I hope this information we have about capecitabine will help. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with someone, you're very welcome to give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
