P.S. I asked my onc for a hormonal to go with xeloda, but he won’t go for it :frowning:

well mine has me on that nw too xeloda and megace. was curious how you gt to do both? mine is because xeloda is not doing its job properly and he thinks it needs a tweek .my liver mets have grown on xeloda , thanks marilyn xxxxx

Hi Tracy – sorry to hear your liver mets have grown on Xeloda – guess your onc thinks that the Megace might help it work better for you? Hope that’s exactly what happens – let us know how you get on with the combination. I’ve been on aromatase inhibitors plus Xeloda since my mets dx 4½ years ago, so I’ve never had treatment with either one or the other separately – have the discussion about stopping Xeloda every time I see my onc team (every nine weeks), but we always decide I should continue on both, as it seems to work for me. Hope it does for you, as well.

Love, Marilyn xx
