Hi All, 

Husband is about to start radiotherapy on the 22nd Feb as Forilfnox has not been effective( it’s not shunk the tumour) we have an apt on the 20th to discuss capecitabine chemotherapy.

I am looking for some advice or experience on this chemotherapy.

thank you

Chrissie

    Hi Chrissie

    I don't have any experience with capecitabine but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list.

    I've had a look in the group to see if there are any previous posts which mention it and found these for you to have a look through.

    While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Thank you so much for replying and looking into previous posts. That was very nice and must have been time consuming. There was some great information there. 

  • Glad you found the posts helpful. I have to admit that I cheated and used the search facility to find them Slight smile

  • I’m also in the same situation hoping for any information on this treatment 

    1. Hi Chrissie, I’ve started Capecitibine tablets with radiotherapy after 11 rounds of Folfirinox as my tumour hasn’t shrunk enough. Capecitibine is the same as Flourourocil (the pump) and works in the same way. I haven’t had any side effects as yet Pray I hope it all goes well for you but please feel free to message me xxx
