Light clay colour poo on capox

Hi KarenMary

It might not be something to worry about but best to call your team . They like to know about anything out of the normal range . Better safe than sorry .

You could also run it by our helpline staff . 0808 808 0000

Take care ,

Thanks Court. I made a call and just have to keep an eye on it for now.

That’s encouraging. Hopefully it will sort itself out .

You will be relieved . 
Hope your platelets pick up . My mum had a few set backs with hers too .

Take care ,

Hi KarenMary

I definitely had light clay coloured poo after 2 cycles of Capox treatment.  I assumed it was caused by the capecitabine tablets and didn't really query it. It continued through the cycles (I had 4) and eventually returned to normal after I had completed the treatment. 

Had lots of other side effects as well, most of which have subsided over the past year. The main side effect I have been left with is peripheral neuropathy on the soles of my feet. Annoying but hasn't affected my mobility - I still walk at the same pace as previously!

Thanks Oldale, reassuring I’m not alone! I’ve had plenty of the other side effects too but as this wasn’t mentioned I wanted to check.
