Every chemo cycle was a nightmare for him, he had to deal with horrible side effect. To make it worse, he caught flu on the 4th chemo cycle...

A few things to remember about Xeloda. 1. As others have said take it within 30 minutes after you eat. NEVER NEVER take it on an empty stomach. In addition, DO NOT take it with the meal. 2. Get OTC Nexium or another GERD like medication. When I was taking Xeloda, that was the FIRST medication that ...
