More Xeloda side effects

[LuckyLarry]

Hello,

I'm hoping my experience with Xeloda side effects might help others who are taking this drug.  I take it one week on, one week off.  While I'm taking it, I feel more exhausted, am constipated, sometimes cry uncontrollably, and my heartbeat is harder.  I've found a medication that helps with all these effects, the beta blocker propranolol.  I take it every day but seem to need a higher dose the weeks I'm taking Xeloda.

Oh the joys of chemo!

How many rounds do you have left?

Hope all is going well.

Xeloda is incredibly easy compared to most chemo.  It causes cracks on my feet but that's about the only side effect.  I'll take it the rest of my life - no problem.  Thanks for your concern.
