Xeloda
Hi,
Today I started on Xeloda and am worried about side effects. Earlier this year I found I had more metastes in my hip and collar bone. The Oncologist put me on Everolimus and I was unable to tolerate it. I ended up in hospital for 10 days. I would love to hear from other people who are on Xeloda.

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'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 :)
