Morning all,
im due to start capecitabine soon after my holiday in three weeks but am Worried about waiting and would like to start sooner rather than later. My oncologist said it would be ok to go on holiday and then start as worried for side effects. Has anyone had any and would you go on holiday with them? Also could you still work?
many thanks for the advice xx
Hey,
I’m on them and I am working currently full time but due to drop to 4 days next week as I am exhausted.
My oncologist said that if I wanted to go abroad, I was have to delay and then go. But I’m going London in September cos that’s UK.
I am guessing there is something with going abroad with them? I don’t know what though.
xx
Thank you for the reply. That’s great had appointment today and will start them after my holiday. Xx
