Brenda - I'm getting along ok with the Xeloda, I didn't have the bowel problems during the day. I'm thinking they are coming from the Tykerb since I took that as my last med last night and my bathroom problems were first thing this morning, but I'm not so sure it is the meds because my husband had the same problem last night at bedtime and he's not on the t/x. I took my morning dose around 10 am today and have not had any problems since. I am really tired since I started on this. I keep looking for those pimples and rashes - if that is an indicator this stuff is working!!
