Hmm.... that's quite interesting... I notice that the H/F syndrome seems to be more recurrant rather than the fatigue.

I don't have big problems with HF, just skin colorings only. I can't help but wonder if fatigue is attributed to my increased dosage of Xeloda. Started out on 2,500mg, just increased now on 3,000mg.

My fatigue is quite similar & close to the fatigue I had while on original chemo from 2 years ago.
