    side effects
    I am taking xeloda and have noticed I feel diffent at different times----changes a lot! But I have had eye irritation and some floaters develop out of the blue. Although the onc says it is not the chemo. On my third cycle, I actually had a mild stutter for about a week---never had this before. I mostly have the dry throat, some hoarseness at times, and the hand foot syndrome. I wear the softest socks I can find---Hanes softies--are great and lots of baby oil with aloe and Vit E. Of cours I sometimes soak them and take naps with my feet elevated!
