CAPOX - when do the side effects kick in?

Hi all,

Anyone after having CAPOX(for bowel cancer) can tell me how soon side effects kicked in?Is it during having it in hospital or after getting home?Just wanted to have some idea as to how to travel from hospital to make sure its convenient in case I feel sick.Many thanks for taking time to read it :)

  • Hopefully some of our members who have had CAPOX as part of their bowel cancer treatment will get back to you soon Anka but if you'd like to have a chat about this with one of our cancer nurses then do give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    You can also find out more about CAPOX just here.

    I hope your treatment goes well and you don't experience too many side effects.

    Kind regards,
