So, I went in for my first combined session today, and they produced a whole load of new side effects that I couldn’t process and everything in my body turned around and said not to start. So I didn’t, I came home, my girlfriend explained it to my dad, and I know it was the right choice.
i am now looking at changing to 6 months of Capecitabine, and I am hoping for some experienced advice.
Hi I have been on Capecitabine and I will be starting cycle 3 of 8 in the next couple of days. So far I have managed very well on it apart from fatigue other side effects have been minimal I am on the maximum dose.
