I’m starting capecitabine on May 4th. What are some of things that were helpful with side effects?
I’ll be having radiation 5 days a week also. I have prochlorperaz for nausea.
Thank you 🙏🏼

@115 Welcome to Mayo Connect. @tomrennie has some experience with this medication. I'll invite him to post with you.

How long ago were you diagnosed? Is capecitabine the only treatment that has been prescribed so far? Have you had any other treatments or surgeries?
