Anyone here taking Capecitebine/Xeloda?
Hi friends, Just wondering if anyone on here is taking Capecitabine. I’ve read up what the side effects are, just wondering what anyone’s personal experience was. I’m due to start very soon, Telehea...
I really love your positive attitude towards your situation, @Caz1 😊
But I am sorry to hear that you have the unpleasant side effect. I hope it gets better soon and you can get back on a treatment.
Do you think you will keep going on capecitabine or you might be on a different treatment? For me, this is my second line after Kisqali and arimidex for 9 months so I really hope I can be on this for a while.
Yes, liver spots!! I have so much of them, plus the strange pigmentation problem. I spoke to my oncologist yesterday she said that I should put lots sunscreen otherwise I would become like "leopard" - again it sounds pretty cute but I would not be a cute version so I will put lots of sunscreen especially this summer.
My year 12 daughter has just finished her TASC (I'm in Tasmania) examination, so I will have a date day with her today. You have a very nice weekend 💞
