My mom is 60 years old and recently started taking Capecitabine 2500mg (started 5 days ago) and already feeling nauseus, and tingling sensations in her fingers.
She's undergoing a treatment for colorectal cancer (early stage).
I don't know how long will these symptoms will take to go away.

Please do share any advice that you all might have.

My sincerest prayers go out for you and your families and that you may all get out of this very soon and stronger 🙏

@rb991 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. Is your mom still experiencing the side effects? Has she tried anything to help with them?
