Anyone taking Capecitabine Chemo for bile duct cancer?

Sunflower88 -- I've just finished 28 daily (M-F) radiation treatments, including daily (M-F) oral chemo of 1500 mg capecitabine in the morning and 2000 mg capecitabine in the evening. The only side effect was mild neuropathy in the balls of my feet. This was the second phase of treatments before distal bile duct surgery in October.

The first phase was ten bi-weekly chemo infusions of gemcitabine, abraxine, and cisplatin. Hair loss was the only side effect.

Yes,
In 2023, after completing 16 sessions of chemo infusion, I started capecitabine 200 mg twice a day during 30 sessions of radiation, and continues it for 2 more months.
Then I had liver transplant in January 2024. Three months after surgery, I begun capecitabine again, the similar dose.
Next week I will complet the 8 months capecitabine, 2weeks, one week rest.
No serious side effect.

Hi Dan, please see my reply below to Kimia. My husband is experiencing side effects which is listed in the reply to Kimia.

Are you in remission now and proceeding with follow up visits for lab work and any MRI’s?
