I just got done with a 6 month treatment with Xeloda. It was so nice to be able to just "take a pill or two" each day and not have to see my Onc. more than 1 time / month! I had some stomach distress with it, but it was manageable...lots of Imodium near by...but again, everyone is different. I was on 3000 mg./ day.
The H/F syndrome, progressively got worse for me, but not bad enough that I ever had to lower the dose. Really not noticeable fatigue from it. Hair thinned a bit, but not much.
It was a great drug, while it lasted.
God Bless,
Cindi.
