Hi Lori
Sorry I don't have any info on xeloda/tykerb side effects but just wanted to add a bit about pain and vision.I also had bad joint/bone pain on taxotere (same family as taxol last year and was convinced I had bone mets. It subsided once I stopped but now comes back at times and is really annoying.You are certainly NOT going mad.
As for the vision issues.Again I had blurry vision on taxotere and still do now.Mine also corrects but I am aware that my vision has deteriorated since taxotere. There is a thread on the board about post chemo vision changes which seem to be quite common.
Hope this helps.
Ellie
