My wife's been taking capecitebine for a while and is due to restart in a
couple of weeks following surgery.  It seems to be an excellent drug -

refused Tamoxifen.  Now I have found a lump on or by the bottom, back rib of
the side I had the surgery.  I realize this may be nothing, I also realize
you folks will understand my concern.  The lump it sore ...
