Similar to you, I was on Xeloda for a very successful 12 months until February this year. I also ‘thrived’ on Xeloda as it gave me ‘my life back’.

My MO changed me to Eribulan (IV Chemo) in early February which has, to date, been quite successful. It is very tolerable and I have really no side effects.
I would recommend that you suggest Eribulan to your MO together with scans.
My very best wishes, good luck, Jane
