Hello Ellamary
I was on the capecitabane tablets for only about 4 months. They were not strong enough to stop my cancer from spreading so i am back on infused chemo -eribrulin.
Before i was on the cap tablets i was on carboplatin for 6 months which had awful side effects for me.
However, i found that there were no additional side effects with the oral chemo. The usual exhaustion persisted but it was much more tolerable than the infused chemo. You have to just get used to taking a lot of pills! Also it was great not having to go to hospital every week for chemo.
Please stay in touch and let me know how you go. By the way what chemo are you currently on ?
Best wishes to you xx
