sorry to hear

Hi Sandy, I'm so sorry about the side effects. When I started Xeloda I had such severe diarrhea too. I had it for 2 weeks and my onc at the time said he didn't think it was Xeloda! Anyway, it resolved itself, for real! I'm not trying to scare you with the 2 week thing and you are doing things to help it that I didn't do. The point is it got better on its own and I continued the treatment and THAT is what I wish for you!!!
