Xeloda

It’s my first day of taking Xeloda, how did you all feel the first day you took them?

  • Hello Jessica and welcome to our forum.

    There is some information about Xeloda (Capecitabine) on our website, so I thought I'd share it with you in case this can be of help.

    Hopefully someone who has experience of this treatment will be along shortly to share their story and give advice but, in the meantime, if you'd like to talk to one of our information nurses you can reach them on: 0808 800 4040 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm).

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hello Jessica

    I have been taking Capecitabine together with Oxaliplatin for bowel cancer. 

    I had 3 cycles for 3 weeks were I was taking 2000mg of Xeloda x2 a day. 

    first cycle was ok - then I started to feel some of the side effects... 

    PM me if you need anything or have any questions :)
