I know some of you have had a rash with Xeloda. I have red bumps, mostly on my stomach and thighs. They just pop up and appear to be the beginnng of something that looks like a boil, but they don't hurt and they go down after a few days. But they do leave a spot on my skin. I am on just 1500 mg a day, two weeks on, one week off. Does anyone else have this side effect from Xeloda? Thanks and God bless you all.

I get a rash or erythema flare up on xeloda, 4000mg, in area of mets. This calms down on my week off. Have currently been on 2 wk rest + regular wk off 2ndary to hand foot syndrome. I am also on herceptin weekly.
Keep your onc informed about rash. Best wishes.
