Cathy,
I have been on a systemic dose of Xeloda for about 3 months now (3000 mg daily). No nausea, just some hand and foot syndrome and some diarreha (sp?). I keep the hand and foot syndrome "at bay" by taking 100 mg of vitamin B6. My Onc. told me to take it daily. I also rub lotion on my feet every night and let it really soak in. So far, no problems with wearing any of my shoes to work. As I said, it's there, but I am keeping the side effects of the hand and foot syndrome at bay.
Good luck to you. Everyone reacts differently to these drugs.
God Bless.
Cindi.
