Welcome to the forum Tgreen1968 although I'm sorry to hear about the complications you've been having with ascites and that it needs to be drained every two weeks. This must be very frustrating but hopefully your new treatment will help.

You can find out more about Capecitabine on our website but if you have any queries or concerns about starting this treatment, don't hesitate to give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to put your mind at ease and answer your questions about survival.

Hopefully some of our members who have experience of ascites and/or have taken Capecitabine will be along soon to share their stories and advice.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
