Hi. I've just finished the first full week of Capox and have had a few side effects - some expected some not. I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has longer experience than me as to what I can expect over the next 11 weeks, particularly in terms of cumulative effects, if any. I have 2 weeks on, 1 week off cycles X 4. 

Thanks. JSM

  • Hi  although I have had a lot of chemo (800+ Hours) for my blood cancer I have not had these drugs.

    This is a general cancer chat group so you ‘may’ not get the reply’s you are looking for but you may want to also put your post up in the Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer support group that I see you have joined and posted in already as this may help you connect with others who have walked the same treatment path.
