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
