Update on me....
well.. my mouth has been so sore all weekend, i decided to call the hospital this morning to ask them for something..
They had me in straight away to check my bloods which were ok but they said my mouth ulcers were too bad and that i have had to withdraw from this cycle of Xeloda.. the dose is too high for me.
They are going to reduce my dose for the next one.. they also gave me some orabase paste to put on the sores so they can heal..
Has anyone else had to have thier xeloda dose reduced on the first cycle?? I'm really scared that this is compromising my treatment and i'm really worried.
