Xeloda
Hi Elizabeth,
I have always taken my Xeloda for 14 days (2 wks) at a time, then have had another two weeks off. I would always still feel the effects of the Xeloda about most of the way through that first week off, then I'd get a good week with no feelings of side effects.
I know a lot of people just take one week off and, in that case, I don't know how much "feeling good" time they get before it starts in again. Generally, the first two days I take it I don't have any side effects either- they usually hit me on about the third day of taking it & tend to build up.
Best wishes- hang in there!
Hugs,

I'm in the '14 days on, 7 days off' camp. It takes about the whole week off for my appetite to improve but it doesn't get back to normal in that time. The hand/foot syndrome improves within a couple of days for me. Just remember how different we all are. I hope things improve for you soon.

Have you asked your Dr. about Ensure? Those are liquid drinks that have lots of vitamins and nourishment that would keep you hydrated.0
