Hi there jusmejp
As you haven’t had any replies as yet, I thought reading our factsheets might be helpful for you, so, if you haven’t already seen them, here are the links to the pages where they can be either downloaded or ordered:
www2.breastcancercare.org.uk/publications/treatment-side-effects/paclitaxel-taxol-bcc34
www2.breastcancercare.org.uk/publications/treatment-side-effects/capecitabine-xeloda-bcc121
Hope this is helpful.
Best wishes

Jusmejp,
There are quite active threads about both these drugs in the “Secondaries: treatments and medical issues” forum. Come along and have a look and I’m sure you’ll find lots of useful information there from people who are currently on those chemos.
Good luck! Angelfalls
