Capecitabine side effects are really tough: What helps?

I’ll be finishing my 1st week today. I spoke to the dietician yesterday and a low fiber diet is recommended for me. I have GERD so I switched to Famotidine 40mg because of heartburn issues. I have Prochlorperaz for nausea which I haven’t had to use yet.
I feel good so far but she said to expect it to change a bit going into the 3rd week and beyond. Possible skin issues which I’ll keep an eye on.
Thank you for checking on me 🙏🏼

@115 Good for you for tolerating it well so far. It's even better that you are prepared for any bumps in the road should they come. Preparation helps to maintain any mental and emotional side effects that happen during the battle. How do you typically manage stressful situations? How do you relax?
