Re: Question on xeloda/tykerb
MJ had extreme fatigue on Xeloda. Especially during the second week of the cycle. There were a few times where she just said she couldn't take it anymore and wanted to give up. Fortunately, she toughed through 4 cycles. Our onc wanted here to do 2 more but she said no. Fortunately, she didn't experience the hand/feet side effects that some get.
