@115 did you also do mitomycin infusion day one. My treatments will be day 1 and day 29 mitomycin infusion plus capecitabine pills 2600mg 5 days a week with radiation. I start next week.

@gc4217 no I’m not on mitomycin infusion.
Just the capecitabine and radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks. They did mention IV chemo for 4 months after I finish with this treatment but hopefully this is all I’ll need.

@gc4217 @115 Eating and staying hydrated is important. There were times that I ate my way through nausea. It might not makes sense, but I found nausea is worse on an empty stomach.
