Oral Chemo
Has anyone had /been on Oral Chemo?
I would really like to speak to someone who is or has undertaken Oral Chemo.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I have been taking Xeloda for just over a year. After 8 cycles of taking it for 2weeks on and one week off, some side effects such as cracking, peeling skin on my feet and very dry hands my oncologist reduced the cycle to 2 weeks on and 2weeks off. Side effects have been minimal (dryness on feet and hands and minor eye infection) and life is good.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2007 and in August 2007 found that it had spread to my liver. After some intense chemo and trial drug, then 3 different anti hormone treatments, I now take the Xeloda tablets. My cancer marker has stayed down, I have my next CT scan this week and hope the results are stable.
Hope this is reassuring for you
Best wishes
Paula
