Hi everyone thanks for all your comments on fatigue,I felt like a zombie for 3 weeks got from bed to settee and that’s it. Haven’t eaten much so feeling sick too.but at last this week for first time I had to go for blood test felt ok walking round but was scared of passing out or something but I didn’t.will be seeing oncologist Wednesday tell him how I’ve been maybe he will reduce my daily dose of Cape from 3600mg I don’t know, but I hate feeling like this knowing I will be same this time, I got so depressed I even missed one mornings tablets because I didn’t want them I was so sick of it.to only feel better 3 days out of 3 weeks is horrible.hugs to you all feeling the same xxx

Hi Angela, sorry you are still feeling so bad, hopefully your Onc will reduce your dose when you see him.  I’m half way through my second lot of cap and feeling ok so far.

Sending hugs

Hi Sandra glad your feeling ok on your second cape.i saw my oncologist yesterday told him how rough I felt mentally and physically he has reduced my dose to 1500 mg twice a day and changed my anti sickness started my 3 Rd cycle today. Hope it makes a difference to how I feel. Getting out yesterday helped and talking to my breast care nurse. They are on the end of the phone if needed but I suffered in silence mainly getting myself in a right state.not eating didn’t help. Hugs to everyone going through it xxx

Thanks for those comments nicky about the metoclopramide, that’s how I felt like a zombie, I thought it was the Cape first but then I wondered if it was the metoclopramide because within half an hour of taking them I felt so tired, I’m on cyclizine now.is anyone taking capecitabine without anti sickness tablets? There is nothing worse than being sick after chemo dint want to risk not taking the anti sickness tablets, hopefully these different ones will be better wait and see hugs everyone xx

Nicky, you just hit the nail on the head re metacloperamide! Yes they make me really drowsy. I will try going back to the other ones. Cyclazine I think. Although none of them seem to really work. I just have to keep nibbling on plain biscuits like when I was pregnant, that works the best…
