Hi! My husband just finished 28 days of xeloda + radiation... he did OK, but ended up with extremely high blood pressure, which is supposedly very rare with xeloda, but something to look out for. He tolerated both really well, other than evenings of rushing to the lav quite a bit....good luck to you and your husband!!
