Capecitabine

Hi, Wiss, not sure in your situation as I had 5FU which the capecitabine morphs into. I'm sure there may be something else. Was yours rectal or bowel? Treatment may differ slightly. All the best, hope your heart is now ok.

Hi I had a similar experience I had a nstemi due to capecitabine then i was given Folfox with the same result I wish you good luck In this scary time.

Do you mean you had a second nstemi with Folfox? Gosh I am sorry.

Thanks yes I am well , now waiting to see what oncologist is going to suggest. Mine was rectosigmoid. I hope you're on the mend.
