Hi Sandra,
My experience on Xeloda was not so good. I was given it in July last year for my pesky mets. I was to take it 2 weeks on & then rest for one week. I took the drugs for two weeks & it affected my stomach so badly that I ended up in hospital for 3 weeks with chronic diarrhoea. My oncologist told me that I am in the 10% of people who cannot tolerate Xeloda. Aren't I lucky? Anyway one thing I've learnt is that we are all different in the way we react to drugs & chemo etc. So it is just a matter of taking it & seeing how your body reacts. Good luck with it. Ange xx
