Hi Karen the treatment you have described sounds like the one I have just started on which is Capecitabine, you have to take it twice daily, morning and evening preferably 12 hours apart and the dose is calculated on your weight and height. So far I have seemed to have tolerated the treatment without any major problems and reading through the Cape thread it seems to be a generally well tolerated and manageable chemo. I have mets. in pleura,lung and bones, which I also was gutted to find out a year ago after being clear for 13 years. I have worked my way through the tears, the anger and of course the fear that I can't be cured. There is no such thing as a magic wand to make it disappear, so I am putting my faith in my oncologist to find a treatment that works, so that I can get on with living my life again. I am sure that your oncologist will put you on the most effective treatment to treat the mets. and if that doesn't work there will be other options, so please try not to worry. Sending a big hug. Ann xx
