My Xeloda dose started at 1,500 morning and 1,500 evening for 2 weeks on and 1 week off. The only side effect I had was really bad foot/hand syndrome. So we lowered the dose to 3,000 daily EVERY OTHER DAY and 2,500 on ALTERNATE DAYS. Still 2 weeks on, 1 week off. My hands and feet are much better. I do try to keep them lotioned with good lotion AND I take 100 mg B6 with each dose. My onc says that most people end up lowered their dose. And for what it's worth, it combined with Herceptin, seems to be keeping my mets stable.
Love and light,
Lisa
