Hi Mellyb
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’. I have very extensive bone mets but my main ‘issue’ is my extensive peritoneal mets. All my Tumor Markers (TMs) - CA15-3, CA125 and CEA doubled in 6 weeks. 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
