liver problems
Well I started my xeloda - almost two weeks back and have been tolerating it very well - up to this past wednesday and thursday when my stomach starting getting very upset - keeping me up most of thurs. nite and then causing me to vomit my breakfast and my xeldoa Fri Am - called the clinic and was told probably only sensitive stomach and to take my anti nausea medication before my next few doses and all would be well.
Good - that seems to have done the trick. Feeling much better in the tummy area. But ... noticed yesterday that my urine is very dark and my skin has got an allover itch to it ... from what I know and have been reading this could be indicative of further liver problems. I also know xeloda can build up in your liver. Why is this drug given to people with liver mets if it is hard on your liver??
Anyways - stomach not feeling so good now - nerves I suppose - gonna call and get into the doc tommorrow hopefully. This is just so frustrating - was really hoping for some sucess here with the xeldoa as my other chemo's including herceptin have been unsuccessful.
What are my other options if I have to go off the Xeloda - help - feeling a little scared here.
