Xeloda

Hi Sue

I've been on Xeloda for a few months now and haven't looked back.  I haven't had any of the side effects so far.  I do have the odd day of feeling blah but they are few and far between.  My Cancer Cell count has dropped drastically and my Oncologist and I are extremely happy with that,  I started using MooGoo Udder Cream straight away in case my feet and hands became red and peeled etc as the information sheet had it as a side effect.  So far so good, no redness or peeling anywhere.  I hope you have as much good luck as me on this drug :)

Hi Sue, hope you are doing well.

I was on Xeloda for ten months and tolerated it well. My hands and feet turned really red, sore and began to peel. I highly recommend good foot creams, foot massages, tonnes of slippers and gloves. My hair did thin as well but not too bad. My tumor markers went down dramatically but I stopped Xeloda because I m now on a trial drug. Good luck and wish you all the best xx

Hi Sue. I have, too, just started xeloda. Just beginning 2nd cycle. A few minor irratations with feet and fingertips and quite bad dry, cracked and sore bottom lip. Found the moo goo excellent for all these. Also making me quite tired and white cell count down a little. But just have to learn to take it easy!! As I start second cycle I am finding I have irratated, watery eyes. Not sure what to do about this yet!! All in all, quite tolerable so far. Fingers crossed.

Hope you find it tolerable too. Julie. xx

I've just finished the tablets of 2nd cycle of Zeloda, having ct scan and seeing oncologist end of next week to see if effective.  I too got really sick a few months ago on Everolimus, had a week in hospital.  My feet seem to be fine but my hands are really dry and sensitive.

Hi Sue

I haven't been on Xeloda (yet).  I think it is one of the next options the onc suggested if my current treatment doesn't work out.  I'm on Everolimus/Exemestane (excuse spelling) at the moment.  I've had bad ulcers but these have cleared up and also has attributed to lymphoedema in my right arms and swelling in my ankles.  What side effects did you experience?  Sorry to hear you ended up in hospital.  This is certainly a rollercoaster ride - a shame we can't opt to get off of it!

Good luck with Xeloda.  I hope you get good results for a long time.
