Is Daxotel effective in treating liver cancer?
Patient: my mother has 51 years old ,before 2 years my mother had abreast cancer then she felt pain in the right side she made Ultrasound the Dr said that she has a liver metastase and she must use 2 kind of chemotherapy 1- daxotel 2- xeloda after she had taken the first dose the Dr told her that she have to stop the daxotel because it has bad effect on the liver . Is that right ? please answer me because there are no symptoms on her related to the liver cancer except the pain . again answer me as fast as you can .thank you. Doctor: Hello. I appreciate your concern . Daxotel and xeloda is a good combination chemotherapy in a patient of breast cancer. However if the liver function test are not good then daxotel should be avoided. You can go for liver function tests for your mother to decide whether to give daxotel or not. Hope this solves your query. regards
