Hello,
I am due to start Capecitabine chemo tablets soon and wondered what the main side effects are that people have experienced?
Have people worked while taking these and what kind of reasonable plans have been put in place with employers?
Thank you xx
Hi Missy219
I am answering to see if anyone else can help re the side effects of your tablets, as your post had dropped to page 2, so I'm popping it back to the top of page 1 (such a busy group!)
With regards to work, you will be classed as disabled, so your employers have to make suitable arrangements for you at work under the law.
Here's a link to the information on Macmillan about your rights with regards to work.
Kindest wishes, Lesley
