Xeloda causing hand redness and extreme tenderness ... playing phone tag with onc's nurse
On day 5 of 7 days off
Xeloda
, second round of two weeks on, one week off. I phoned the cancer center either two or three times yesterday and twice so far today. On top of that, I am having what seem to me to be severe digestive issues!

Day 3 on Xeloda
Fed ex was supposed to deliver my
Xeloda
Wednesday morning. That's what the specialty pharmacist and my onc's nurse had told me, and I even got an email saying it was out for delivery that morning.

Thanks for the recommendations for my sore hand!
Will talk about either going off
Xeloda
or reducing dose. I like the idea of one week on, one week off. I do have some gloves to wear--one cotton pair, one silk pair, and several pairs with soothing gel in them. My hands sure are important day to day!

Capecitabine(Xeloda) dose change
I have been on Capecitabine for about 9 months at a dose of 2000 mg per day (2 weeks on 1 week off). My scans have shown good results with the last scan showing no progression. My question is, has anyone had experience with reducing dose to 2000 mg 1 week on then 1 week off? My Dr. Has suggested changing

Colon cancer secondary to CLL
And does anyone have experience in
Xeloda
(the chemo pills) and Oxalipatin (the IV)? I’ve recently successfully gone through Gazyva and hope this is as painless. I love the support everyone receives here so I thought I’d reach out to get your wisdom

Xeloda/Cape-Hand/Foot & Essential Oil Help
For those experiencing sore feet with cape: I had responded to BettyBucket with info about Topical Heparin Gel, but now also have some info about essential oil use for help if you need it. I realize not everyone believes in essential oil use, or has a stock....but for those who are interested, after

possible ONJ-- seeing an oral surgeon for the first time tomorrow morning
I just started my second round of oral chemo,
Xeloda
, two weeks on, one week off. I get those pills from a specialty pharmacy and there have been delays with each of these deliveries! First delay was weather related and just delayed my starting the first round by a day.

Post Xeloda Options…Enobosarm?
Hi everyone, unfortunately my wife’s tumor markers have exponentially increased over the last 3 months so after 8 months of
Xeloda
we will need to make a treatment change soon.

I was meant to get my ovaries out but a peak under the hood showed wide spread cancer through out my abdomen… on to cape.
So now I am praying that
Xeloda
will work to slow this train down. My oncologist called the night before surgery having gone down to the radiology reading room and gave me a call with the bad news and formulated a plan.

Treatment change to Xeloda - chemo 💊
I have started the first round of
Xeloda
a chemo pill 💊. Taking 4 pills twice daily for 14 days then 7 days off. So far so good, none of the side effects as of yet. I am prepared however. Our hope 🙏🏾 is that it will reduce and/or eliminate my cancer met tumors to lung cavity and liver.

Leave tomorrow for 7 weeks in New Zealand! Feel feee to skip this depressing health update!
But with this trip, I’m still reeling from the recent news of spread all over the abdomen, now dealing with a new therapy-
xeloda
and the HFS that comes with it. I have lost 10+ lbs with out trying. So it is a different kettle of fish.

MBC- MY BEST CIRCLE around NZ for 7 weeks while I still can…
So I was switched from Verzenio to
xeloda
at Xmas… my feet blistered and the cape dose was dropped to 2000 mg/ day but took a while to clear up. On jan 21, we flew from Boston to NYC… and got a direct flight for 18 hrs straight to Auckland.

While visiting Auckland nz, I visited and gained new perspective from my previous oncologist
the main thing that my usa Dr wanted her to do was to try to assess for
xeloda
was working if possible. This was hard to do as it has only been one month and in Nz they use CA 15-3 and USA they only look at ca 27-29but nz can’t do that one at their labs.

xeloda schedule and how long have you been on it?
I’ve been on
Xeloda
for 3 rounds and wonder what schedule you are on . I take 3 500 mg twice a day for a week then off a week then back on. Wondering if this is the most effective. My onc said he may switch to more traditional 3 weeks on 1 off. Also how are the side effects.?

More cancerous nodes…swollen arm
My oncologist changed my regiment to
Xeloda
wanting to stop these cancerous nodes. In addition I had multiple cancerous growths all over my chest. Since I started
xeloda
the growths have been shrinking which is great. But… My arm is still swollen.
