@demooretucson I took Capecitabine for bile duct cancer. I had a total of 34 rounds of radiation (M-F, 2x day am/pm sessions) & at the same time took Capecitabine in the morning and in the evening 12 hrs apart. Had mild side affects but was ever sure if it was from radiation or tables. I got nausea but took medicine before radiation session and that took care of it. I didn't loose my hair. I followed the recommendations to use moisturizer on hands and feet and never had dryness issues. My appetite diminished, so had to make sure I was getting enough protein. I had some fatigue as well but manged to work remotely while going through the treatment so it was manageable. Let me know if you have any other questions. Wishing you the best in your health journey.

Dear Berta929 -- Many thanks for your very helpful comments. My upcoming treatment appears identical except a total of 28 rounds of radiation instead of 34.

Warm regards -- Dan
