Xeloda

I just started taking Xeloda for my colon cancer. Anyone has experience with the oral form of the 5FU.

I have been on Xeloda for 2 months now and my first CAT scan was
amazing. Tumors in my Liver and Lungs have shrunk from 5.3 to
3.7 and my CEA went from 22 down to 9. I have had infusions
over the past year of 5 FU plus other drugs that stopped working.
The best part about Xeloda is the way it works inside the Tumors
without killing our good cells. I did have a problem but I will be on
a lower dosage starting tomorrow. My hands and feet have gotton so
numb and painful and then diarrhea became chronic. Good luck
to you, this board is a great place to find hope.

I also recently started treatment with Xeloda . I would like to continue to hear progress reports from other people taking this treatment. I'm happy with what I have heard so far.
LIVESTRONG,
Andrea
