Eric, I was on Xeloda 3 years ago for liver mets, and my dosage was reduced to 2000 mg a day. The hand/foot syndrome was relieved and yet I still saw great results in my liver mets.

So you can adjust the dosage a bit if Caryn is having a hard time side effects. Keep your onc in the loop and play with the dosage as needed.
