I had my whipple 13 days ago and as soon as I recover, I will be receiving Gemcitabine and Capcitabine for 3 month to powerwash the micro cancer cells. How is the capcitabine working for you, side effects wise and how long are you on it for?

How are you feeling? How is your recovery? It doesn't get a lot harder than being Whippled from what I witnessed through a friend. Capecitabine will be easy. The last few days of a cycle and the first few days afterwards you will feel tired and achy. Some other small side effects may occasionally occur, but they seem unique to the individual. Please ask as you go.
