Hi rp1954, Would you pls let me know what kinds of supplement that may help me? Thanks! Normally, if it's bad enough, what's likely to happen is that they'll reduce your dosage and/or your treatment schedule. One thing that made my wife's oral chemo more difficult is food and supplement borne, folic...

Hi all, I have 8 cycles of Xelonda treatment... now just finished 1 cycle.. before the treatment, I went through some posts and thought this medicine is quite manageable... but seems not as I expect.. I got feeling of nauseous and loss of appetite... this get a bit improved after some kind of medici...
Dear all, I have seen 2 Oncologist and both suggested to go for the 8 cycles Xelonda .. they explained the side effect as you guys and reassurance that most people can tolerate this period .. So, probably I would make up my mind and go for the chemo “journey” Thanks again for all your support and p...
Dear all, Finally, I have made up my mind to take the Xelonda ..! Thanks for all of your comments earlier ! My private Oncologist said it’s better to start the Xelonda within 6 weeks from Surgery.. however, the govt hospital Oncologist is going to arrange the Xelonda only from week 8 .. is it still ...
Dear all, I was posted a post earlier and got lots of valuable feedback on taking Xelonda or not and I almost decided to go for that .. Just few days back, I was advised by my European colleague about Hyperthermia treatment, may I ask if you all have comments on this treatment ? http://www.hospitald...

You mentioned something which I would like to address. We read stories about patients who have chemo for other kinds of cancers or we see things on television that portray cancer patients as super ill, very thin and overall they look awful. There ARE some types of cancer treatments that can and do ...
That's a good point about friction on the foot. If that happened, you'd probably need to cut down on walking, or possibly get really cushy socks and comfy. shoes. I must admit that the last 1/3 of my treatment I had to cut back on the walking and finally eliminate it, but that was mostly due to fat...
I found exercising to be beneficial during treatment. Since I live close to a state park, I'd drive over and hike for 30-45 minutes about 5 times a week. It's a beautiful park, so it would elevate my mood, and the terrain wasn't to challenging. Good both mentally and physically. Best Regards, peanu...
I'd like to give you one more piece to contemplate. IMO, Xeloda allows the patient to be more NORMAL. Right now, you're having a myriad of emotions and for most cancer patients, trying to be as 'normal' as possible is the ultimate goal. Yes, it's nice to be pampered but most patients generally don'...
