Thanks for sharing. Interesting to read that Curcumin might be beneficial when taken with Xeloda.

I urge you to talk to your doctor about possible Xeloda toxicity. You can find more information at vistoguard.com - please research about this ... my mother had worsening side effects from Xeloda which were ignored, landed her in the ICU and she passed away. This drug can build up in your body if your body can’t properly metabolize it. Talking to your doctor and pushing for tests such as DPD deficiency and platelet counts etc could be life saving. Good luck!
