I was wondering, for those who took xeloda, what is the dosage your doctor gave you during the 6 weeks of radiation? Mine gave me 1500 mg twice a day. I weigh about 175 lbs and measure 5 ft 6 in. Does that sound about right?
I am only asking because initially the pharmacist said you ll probably need 2300mg twice a day, and then the doc said 1500 mg twice a day. My oncologist is young and said she never prescribed xeloda before because in canada this has not been covered even by private insurances until recently. So now i worry she does not know what she is doing!
