Here are two discussions from the Colorectal Cancer support group. Other members share their experiences with similar chemoradiation treatments for anal cancer. As you will read, the treatment can be quite different from person to person. Let me know what you are thinking?

@115 Your side effects may increase as your capecitabine treatment progresses. From what I have learned, the two days off won't allow the capecitabine to completely leave your system. So, you will have a little more left in your system after each five day cycle. Make sense?
