Hello there :) 

I was wondering what were yours lon-term side effects after Xelox regime for bowel cancer?

I have completed my chemo mid November 2018 and recently started to have blurry vision and feel dizzy - already spoken with my GP and just in case he is sending me for head CT scan just to eliminate possibility of any cancer being spread... other than this I have expected side effects I have been told or read before.

I`m wondering what is your experiance.

  • Hi Mal, 

    I noticed no-one had replied to your post yet so I've had a quick look through the forum and found that [@tigercub]‍ had this treatment. It's been a little while since she was last on the forum but fingers crossed she'll pop back to say hello and share her experiences with you now I've mentioned her in this post.

    We have some general information about side effects from Xerox on our website just here but you may have a bit more luck connecting with others on the bowel cancer uk forum.

    I hope this helps and wish you all the best for your CT head scan.

    Kind regards,
