Hi,
I’ve been on capecitabine for just over a year and I’ve been really fortunate not to have any side-effects other than a bit of sun sensitivity on my hands. However, just recently I’ve been getting regular nosebleeds which creates an ongoing horrible chemical soapy taste in my mouth.
I’m just wondering if anybody else has experienced this?

Hi AliWtem
I'm sorry to read about your nosebleeds and your query re whether this is linked to your treatment. https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/treatments-and-drugs/capecitabine#what_is
Please use the link above for information. It does state that nosebleeds are a side effect and to inform your treatment team. Hope this helps.
