Capecitabine

Hi

Have 2ndry for 4th time in liver have been told it is too big to cut out, am starting it on Tuesday, can any one tell me how they got on? I work full time in the navy and do not want to leave, also live on my own so a bit scared.

You might be better to move this post to the secondaries forum as this chemo is talked about a lot there. It’s supposed to be a quite ‘user friendly’ chemo but I don’t have any personal experience of it yet. Good luck.

hi,
I was diagnosed with liver mets dec 09, i have just started my 2nd cycle of capecitabine along with herceptin also, i take 8 tablets a day 4 in morning 4 a night, although its early days its not too bad, make sure you keep your hands and feet well moisturised as it does tend to dry out skin, i havent had any sickness, feel tired but i only finished all my treatment 6 months ago before i got secondarys , im a newbie there are some ladies here than can help much more than me and give fab advice
