Hi,
I'm new to a forum of any kind! So please bare with me.
My husband had 50% of his liver removed in mid September (left hemi hepatectomy) and has made a good recovery. He is a very young & active 76 year old. We felt we were very fortunate it was operable. Despite the surgeon feeling confident the tumour had been fully removed the biopsy showed signs of perineural & lymphovascular invasion so he has just started Chemo, Capecitabine tablets. I was wondering how other's have tolerated this drug and how soon he might start to feel any side effects? And the outcome of anyone else who has had the same operation?
He is also taking part in a trial called ARTEMIDE for a new immunotherapy drug called Rilvegostomig. It is blind so he has a 50% chance he could be given a placebo. Perhaps someone else in this forum is also taking part? (I hope I am allowed to ask this)
I know I should be patient and just see what/when he has side effects he has on the Capecitabine (and obviously everyone is different), I would just appreciate some forewarning as I have been told it's one of the better tolerated chemotherapy treatments. I feel guilty it's a trivial question, my heart goes out to some of the people who have far worse situations.
