xeloda side effects
Hi all
my mom just had her first cycle of xeloda 3 500mg in the morning and 4 500mg at night. She is feeling terrible, so much that she is thinking of stopping any treatment and trying microbiotics only. She has terrible headaches that won't let her sleep at night, she is exhausted all the time. Very minor nausea and some numbness in her fingers and her toes. On May 4th she is going to see
her doctor and I was suggesting she talks about reducing her dosage. They
wanted her to take navelbine with it but they don't have it on approved list
of meds so mom needed it to find it herself. I am not sure what to think of that.
Mom has lung mets and now liver mets too, after taxol and carboplatin treatment. She did get few herceptin treatments but after 2 months of fighting to get it and after my brother and I said we would pay for it. Now they won't give it to her any more, they said it wasn't working.
Anyone has headaches like that?
I would appreciate any help.
