Thay's great Sandy. Xeloda is an excellent drug.......but don't forget that the dosages used in the original trials were too high and later studies have shown that much lower dosages are just as effective. Because it is a daily dosing, more isn't necessarily better. If the side effects become uncomfortable, talk to the doctor about dose reduction.

Cheers,
Al
