It looks like I will be tasking xeloda for 2 weeks on and one week off. Now to figure out the side effects and what to do for them. I understand mouth sores, diarrhea, and hand and foot syndrome are the major one,
Any others I should be aware of? I will be getting blood work done tomorrow and the onc wants tumour markers to monitor the progress on the liver mets, getting smaller or larger. He said the liver pain I have had for the past few days is good pain (if you can call pain good) because it means the cells in the liver mets are dying and therefore causing an inflammatory response and the liver capsule is reacting to the inflammation. Love Lana
