Hi Colleen, please see my recent reply to Kimia where I have added the treatment my husband is doing and side effects. He had liver resection on 6/24/2024 removing the left lobe of his liver. Surgeon’s told us that cancer shows no sign in lymph nodes or other organs. Surgeon’s decided oral chemo of Capecitabine 2000 mg twice a day (2 weeks taking chemo, followed by 1 week no chemo, repeat for 6 months) 6-8 weeks after surgery in case there’s any cancer cells floating around. The plan of treatment includes blood work every 3 weeks, CT Chest and MRI of abdomen every 2 months for the first 2 years. ICC recurrence can happen.

He is not on any other chemo or radiation.

@denvergirl here. I had surgery in Oct 2024 for bile duct cancer. I just completed my 2nd cycle of 3500 mg Capecitabine a day. In others' experience, are the side effects like diarrhea cumulative with increasing cycles?
