Re: Xeloda vs. 5fu/lv infusion

[Guest guest]

I just began my 5th round of Xeloda, so far no hand/foot syndrome. I

never did have that problem on the infusion, but I was too sick on the

infusion to care if my hands or feet hurt! I prefer the pill, but one

doctor doesn't think I am absorbing it properly and thinks I am

wasting my time. Sigh.

Always something!!! The hand and foot thing is from the Oxi drug. Hope

it is all going well for you and your get over with this chemo soon.
