mouth sores & hand/foot syndrome-am on Xeloda

Thanks to all that responded to my post. I certainly will try your suggestions. I have one so bad right now that is can hardly eat because of the pain.
Irene, I also have the discloration in my hands,fingers and bottom of my feet. Onc. told me that is just another side effect. Is Xeloda working for you? I hope I can continue on this regimen as I have tried so many other chemos and my lung mets continue to progress.
