capecitabine (oral chemotherapy) after AC/TAXOL, radiation and surgery
Hello!
Just wondering if anyone has been offered capecitabine additionally to their care after having standard of care treatment for Hormone positive, Her2 negative BC.
I am 29, have completed 8 rounds of chemotherapy plus surgery and will be having 25 rounds of radiation. My oncologist has recommended 6 months of capecitabine as an additional adjunct therapy. I had a second opinion with another oncologist and she didn't seem to have the same opinion.
I have done a little bit off research but there isn't a lot of people with hormone positive BC that have been offered this (that I can find).
Thoughts?
Thanks ladies! x

- Locksley, how much time was there between the lumpectomy and the mastectomy?
- Hi @tilly I had same type of bc as you. I was diagnosed at 52 so I wonder if it is for younger women. I had lump 52mm. Had lumpectomy and then 4 nodes removed. Then mastectomy with 9 more nodes removed. Had 6 months of ac and taxol chemo and then 5 weeks of radiation. Just gone onto letrozeole for 10 years.
