Xeloda and Ixempra
Has anyone been on these drugs? They also go by the names of Capecitabine and Ixabepilone. Since I am a triple negative my options are limited according to the MDA drs. Then it's Parp Inhibitor trials. Any info would be great! Thanks everyone:)
Breathe, pray, rest, relax, smell the roses, one day at a time. MJ

I couldn't find much. Xeloda: converted to fluorouracil in the body for treating metastatic cancer. Patient usually takes it for 2 wks then has 1 wk rest period. you could google fluorouracil?
Ixempra is too new for my old books, also a google target.
these cancer drugs are always so scary, i don't know what to think. wonder what parp inhibitor is?0 -
