Hi
I am starting on capecitabine soon, I am nervous as to what to expect. How am I going to feel. I just can't sleep, eat or think properly at the moment my head is all over the place.
Just wondering if anybody would share their experience, I understand that everyone will react differently, but would love peopel to share how they felt.
Thank you for time
