@Tennille I to am on Xeloda, I function just fine, working full time, running on Saturdays & competing in events such as Gold Coast Marathon & Run Melbourne. It effects my life very little.
I have learnt to control side effects very well, lots of moisture on the skin, treating my hands & feet carefully, eating well. I find ckmpression socks such as used for running to be my friend, they help control the effects on my feet.
So all in all, my life goes on as usual for I refuse to let mbc control my life... its is my life & I control it...
