Has anybody on here had oral Chemo, was it ok where there any side effects.
Hi Lesley
I tried Capecitabine, but only for few days. Unfortunately, had chest pain as a side effect, it gave me blood vessels contractions, because of that have been taken off this chemo. Hovever, I heard it’s very good one. Also, my oncologists said it’s very rare side effect, but I managed to get it. Tomorrow will start Vinorelbin, which is also oral chemotherapy, fingers cross it will work. I’ll try to update how I’m getting on after a week or two.

Hi Lesley,
I’m on Capecitabine and feel very well on it, hardly notice I’m on treatment compared to the IV chemo!
The worst side effect I’ve experienced is dry, peeling skin on my feet and hands (just a few small patches, nothing that stops me using my feet!). I also feel a little more tired than “normal” but I counter that with exercise. I’ve heard quite a few people get on very well with it. Good luck with your treatment xx
Thank’s for the replies I am on palbocicIIb 125 MG. Densonub.
Hi Lesley123,
I am on my 3rd cycle of capecitabine and 6 weekly denusomab. So far only tingling in hands and a bit more tired than usual, other than that tolerating very well. Just waiting to see if it is working.
Hi Lesley
I am on palbociclib 125 for 21 days 7 days off, ( just finished my second 21 days ), Letrozole plus demusam injection just had my first.
Feel rough most days, some slightly better, most are chronic. The fatigue and the itching plus nausea and not being able to eat are difficult to deal with. But being positive a scan has shown improvement already so am willing to take the bad for the good ahead.
Hi all doctor rang last night to say my white blood cells are low, got to have an emergency blood test this week, has anybody had this.
