Hi,
Has anybody taken Capecitabine?
Thank you in advance
Me. I am on about cycle ten now and have found it very manageable. Few side effects apart from some fatigue here and there but it is not too bad and not all the time. It is in tablet form and I am taking a three week break now to build my strength up again, that is the good thing about tables, it is easy for them to adjust the dose if necessary. Everybody is different but this is by far the easiest chemo to tolerate that I have been on. Please try not too worry as I am sure it will not be as bad as you think it will be. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
