Hi - thank you for your message.
They have stopped the Cepecitabine last week because of low count white blood cells & platelets levels. I'm now doing regular blood tests to see if it improves.
Do you not have any side effects from Capecitabine?

@piach I have had lots of side effects with Capecitabine. Initially, it was hard to attribute side effects specifically to Capecitabine, because I was very sick and also took Temozolomide for the first 13 cycles. But, I had nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, body aches and pains, lack of appetite, weight loss and fatigue before starting any treatment. I still have some nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, body aches and pains, and fatigue. In addition, I have low platelets, mouth sores, itching, and neuropathy. That is all that I can think of at the moment.
