My wife has been stable for a yar now, after 11 sessions of Taxotere and 18 months of heavy Xeloda.
Last scan showed growth in some of her liver tumours and her markers were up. Onc informed her on Thursday last.
Anyone been there after Tax and Xeloda, I am wondering if there is anything left ?
We go back to see the Onc on Thursday of this week.
Hi Terry
I was put on to xeloda straight after tax -although i dont have liver mets i know some ladies who do sometimes go onto vinorelbine (sp?) after xeloda.
Best of luck
I’m on carboplatin/gemcitabine at present. Sometimes, they use cisplatin rather than the carboplatin but I think there is more risk of complications like renal problems and hearing problems with cisplatin.
I’ve also had vineralbine and if my heart and bone marrow can take it, they are talking about recycling chemos for me eg initially I had FEC so had epirubicin so they were talking about using doxyrubicin this time and then I had taxotere so they were talking about taxol.
There are also some different trials but i know nothing abou these.
Hope all goes well on thursday.
Kate
