Lolly,
Everyone's tolerance seems to be a bit different with the dosages of Xeloda. I'm just on 2000mg/day in two divided doses of 1000mg. My personal schedule is two weeks on, two off. But that is because of the Temodar I do concurrently for the first week.
Anywho, I have been doing the B-6 200mg a day and lotioning my feet etc. Making sure I eat just before taking my dose. The only side effects I've noticed (just barely at that) is an increase of tearing of eyes in the morning. One time they were 'sealed' shut, but not goopy. I've done six rounds.
The thing is, imo and from what I've read, is that any Xeloda side effects are easily reversed with discontinuance, if done right away. A reduced dose can then be tried.
I must assume your counts will be checked regularly? If you know the reduced dosage of Navelbine works well for you in that dept., but your counts drop with a daily dose of Xeloda, I would sure consider one of the other 'plans'.
Hoping for the kind of response you're looking for,
hugs,
pattyz
