My oncologist has taken me off the chemo.
Hopefully this miserable itching will stop!
I will see my oncologist in 3 weeks.
I may plan on coming back to Mayo, my Dr works with UCLA.

@lips702: I'm so relieved to hear you discussed this with your oncologist. While itching is not uncommon with capecitabine, if it becomes severe as you reported it can be associated with a more significant skin reaction that requires immediate treatment, or as you noted in your case, discontinuing the medication.

Can you circle back early next week to let me know how you're feeling?
