Holly,

I'm so sorry to hear that you are not handeling Xeloda well. What is the disage you are taking? It is my understanding from all the posts I have read here that your Doctor can lower the dosage if you are having a difficult time. When do you see your Onc again? Are you on any other medication?

Please give us more details and information so maybe, we can help you better.

((((((((HUGS))))))))
