Hi Hope-

I am on xeloda (and now tykerb), and my xeloda dosage is 1850mg/m2, which for my height and weight is 3300 daily. I am on 14 days on, and 7 off, because I am part of the clinical trial. I have been on it a year, and the H/F is not getting any easier - I don't get the peeling on my hands so much as cracking and bleeding at the joints...I am inquiring as to whether they can switch me to 11 days on /10 off, or some other regime, or whether the dosage can be reduced...

Good luck w/ things,
Shell
