Had a bilateral mastectomy on sept 3. I had two kinds of cancer, one tumor was er+/pr- and the other that traveled to lymph nodes was triple negative. Everything removed thankfully, but I’m about to go on Capecitabine(Xeloda). Even though I got through 8 rounds of chemo, now I’m having anxiety about potential upcoming side effects. Is anyone taking this and what is your experience?
