Dear Lisa:
My wife, Lisa, is completing her 5th cycle of Xeloda, 2600 total (1300 twice a day for two weeks, one week off). She has suffered the hand/foot syndrome, but only mildly. Her fingers split and bleed on occasion and she suffers nausea in the second week of the treatment. She takes care of that with either Zofran or Adivan. Apparently, Adivan's ability to relax her tends to relieve the nausea.
The Dr. first intended 6 cycles of this, but her previous scans were NED, so we think he may continue the treatment for awhile.
Good Luck and God Bless!
Brian
