Hello all. Please may you offer your experience of capecitabine? My sis has just completed wk 1 of 2 of this medicine. She is to have 1wk off. This round is to be repeated for 6 months. I understand each person experiences side effects differently. She's on day 9 of the tablets. A slight rash on the back of her hand and the development of a cold sore so far the only changes. My question is how soon have you experienced changes. So far it seems too good to be true. Many thanks. Txx
Hi Trustin6e1e7e sorry to hear about your sister.
Capecitabine is used for treating various cancers….. and it helps to talk with others on the exact same journey.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms)……… so if you care to have a look through this link Cancer Specific Groups you will find all our dedicated cancer support groups listed.
These groups are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from family members who are navigating the same journey.
