Well I have had to take a week off Xeloda as Bowel so upset. Don’t want to be too graphic but I know you all get the picture. Had a chat with lovely oncologist who told me how dangerous ongoing Diarrhoea can be so instead of starting tablets yesterday I have to take a week off and see how I feel.
Am annoyed as I feel ok and want to keep fighting this little bu**er.
anyway will do my best. Has anyone else had these problems

Hi Muddy
Diarrhoea is so horrible - I too had to delay one cycle of xeloda because of it (and the state my hands/feet got into). The extra week off did give me a chance to improve a bit and in fact the cycles after that weren’t ever so bad (though I did use to take immodium a lot still!).
Hope you are sorted soon and can get back on the xeloda quickly.

Hi Muddy,
I was on xeloda for 2 years and had 2 weeks on 1 off and then went to 2 weeks on 2 weeks off because of the poos. Now on taxol and don’t poo think I may explode! The trials and tribulations of chemo.
Hope you are able to cope, it isn’t much fun.
Love Debsxxx
