Following IV chemo and single mastectomy surgery, I now need 8 cycles of Xeloda (Capecitabine). Has anyone had experience of this and how did it make you feel. Side effects look a bit frightening.
Hi Kerlewdan
I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and needed a mastectomy. I had 8 cycles of Capecitabine, two weeks on and one week off about 4 years ago and I didn't have any problems while I was on it.
Wishing you the best of luck with the treatment and hopefully it will be as kind to you as it was to me.
Best wishes
