Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Some are doing well, some get no reaction. but seems better then f.i. 5-FU or Taxol/taxotere. If you want I can give you the adress and contactperson where you can get phase III studies with Xeloda and coloncancer and Xeloda and breastcancer. Gr. kees braam webmaster www.kanker-actueel.nl Xeloda > My sister had breast cancer two years ago and we thought she had beat it, but now has liver and lung cancer too. On top of all that she recently had an emergency appendectomy and shortly thereafter was hospitalized with pneumonia. She has lost a lot of weight and is so weak. Trying to get better and get stronger. Her oncologist and my sister agree that further chemo is out of the question, but her doctor has suggested Xeloda. Has anyone here had any experience with this drug? We would both like to know. Blessings, Bev. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hi Al, I have been doing xeloda now on/off for he last 6 years.. Worst effect on me was hands and feet burning up red raw, appart from that absolutely fine.. Had really good results with xeloda actually,, Lots of manuka honey keeps the burning at bay... Ann-Marie From: Al Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 Anyone have any experience with Xeloda. I have a friend that has had breast cancer and now has brain cancer. She is supposed to start treatment soon. I have read up on Xeloda and it has a lot of side effects. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
