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...

@Caz1 no worries about replying late we all know how hectic our life can be, especially with BC
and I think you don’t have to feel bad about cancelling your plan ( I know easy to say and I will probably feel bad too😔) because we do get horrible side effects from all these treatments and it’s just unbearable sometimes!!
I hope you feel better soon Caz, my heart is with you💞
@Lisa1407 it sounds very hard.😞 I’ve had a few tummy problem so far and they are bad, I mean real bad!!! The tummy ache was just so terrible. But for me as long as I eat something right before taking tablets I don’t get as bad tummy problems 🤞🏽And I haven’t gotten hand and foot problems too. It’s been 3 months since I started Capecitabine so I just had a bone scan and CT scan (PET isn’t so available in Tassie) and I will see my oncologist next week to talk about weather the treatment is working or not.

I really hope your tummy has settled and your scan goes well😊
