Xeloda dosing and newbie questions. Please help
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2020 10:12 pm
Hi members,
Firstly I want to thank you all for so many valuable information that I have received here. I ll keep you all in my prayers and hope you get well soon.
My first post here.
My mom has finished her 28 day neoadjuvant/preop chemoradiation. Her Xeloda daily dosing was 1500 mg for a whole day, she was told only weekdays but she did take on Sundays too. Radiation in total was 50.4 grays.
I am worried after reading many posts here on Xeloda dosing as most seem to have a 3000mg per day. I know it's weight dependant and she's around 68kgs or 150lbs.
Also , she has a waiting period of 4-6 weeks due to Covid19 before she can go get a PET CT to be reviewed for LAR. So the onc suggested that she can do two rounds of CapeOX in the meantime, would just two rounds help?
Thank you
