Hi,
My friend is starting adjuvant chemo after having had surgery for bowel cancer (moderately differentiated sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma. Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) present. No Lymphatic invasion. No perineural invasion).
She has been prescribed 4000mg of capecitabine daily - seems very high, was just wondering what mg anyone else in similar situations are taking? Is this a normal dose?
Thanks x
