Hi Sue, I was on xeloda for about 14 months, my markers went down dramatically as well. Unfortunately my oncologist had to stop it because my feet, arms and legs were so red and painful I could hardly lie in bed or shower as they stung so much. I also got the runs pretty bad. My oncologist decided that I developed a toxicity to it. So I am now back on Iv chemo. Having said all that, I know quite a few ladies on xeloda and apart from some hand and foot syndrome they are tolerating it very well. I hope the same goes for you.
Stay positive
Ps I also found moo goo terrific.
