Hi Cathy, I started Xeloda at 3000 and did several cycles ignoring the growing side effects until I couldn't walk on my own feet or pull a sheet over me with my fingers. I became show and tell at the onc office for the worst case of hand/foot syndrome they'd seen (i should've charged admission). We dropped it down to 1500 (as Al stated) and I had side effects but i could manage them better and continued on Taxotere and Xeloda for a year. The cancer still responded which was my fear (that it wouldn't) and why I waited so long to tell anyone about the effects. I have since heard this from several other gals. All of which is more support for Al's awesome info.
Good luck Cathy1
Love, Joy
