Capecitabine side effects are really tough: What helps?

@rb991 Gotcha. Is the nausea medicine zofran or something else? Different types of cancer can have different capecitabine regimens. For example, I have pancreatic cancer. I take capecitabine two weeks on and two weeks off. How many weeks is a cycle for your mom? How many weeks off? She has to take it for four cycles? They all make a difference, when it come to potential side effects.

@tomrennie For nausea its perinorm + emset.
Her chemo cycles is 2 weeks on + 1 week off. In total she'll be getting 4 such cycles.
May I ask why you have been on the capec for so long? How are you doing now?
