@tomrennie after 1 round of capecitibine 3900mg day
side affects were horrible and I was ready to quit but my pcp convinced me to stick with a reduced to 3000 mg day and I tried 2 more cycles and had to stop taking it but since I caught it early and no spread I am still cancer free since September 2024, still on surveillance every 3 months but now dealing with needing hip replacement.
Thank God for blessing me and ending cancer days.

If you go to hooded and do a search under the letter "c" for this medication, it gives info about possible side effects and how you can deal w some of them.
Good luck.

@denise134 Congratulations on no cancer. I am happy for you. 3900mg a day is a lot. No wonder it was difficult for you to tolerate. I am keeping my fingers crossed that your cancer stays away and that your hip replacement happens without any challenges.
