Al I started out with 3000 mgs but dropped to 2000 mgs and I may need to drop lower but time will tell. My oncologist says he does not like Xeloda because the side effects can sneaked up on us. He says many love the drug and get great results. Must be the hair we love right? Its great to hear from you Al and you are still with us. hugs, Sandy
