I don't know about Xeloda, but it sounds like you may be getting it through your Onc and he's jacking up the price.
I went through something similar with Herceptin.
My insurance didn't want to cover what my Onc was charging for it because he wasn't getting it through their pharmacy, even though he's in my HMO.
Then my insurance company decided that they also couldn't give me the provider discount for the same reason.
My Onc wrote off all the remaining charges other than what the insurance paid him.

I said before that all the wonder drugs are great, but what good do they do if you can't afford them?
