Adel, it is great to hear of your positive experience with xeloda. I had two rounds and was taken off because I needed an op for femur fracture and surgeon was worried it might compromise my recovery.

I will be starting up again next week and am hoping to avoid the hand/foot syndrome this time round!! It will also be interesting to see what ground has been lost re attacking cancer cells.Oncologist assurred me he could 'make up lost ground' so here's hoping.
