| 1 | Rectum cancer | Loss of hunger Skin turn to be rough and dark Nausea Vomiting Muscle reduction Bone weakness | After first cycle , if doesn't improve your disease then stop xeloda. My mother reduced her weight and strength to half . As she not able to eat much her general health condition was reduced . She passed away after 4 th moth of xeloda | F | 67 | 4 months 500 | 3/21/2015 | 3 | Metastatic Breast Cancer Lunds | Burning red feet and hands, dry skin, some mild nausea, dizziness, brain fog. | I can walk around for no more than five minutes without my feet starting to burn. I did not anticipate becoming an immediate invalid. | F | 59 | 2 months 1500 2X D | 2/21/2014 | 4 | Breast cancer IV | severe fatigue, very dry hands and feet, dry skin, stomach bloating, a few mouth sores, and some nausea. | the fatigue is the worse side effect so far, but my tumor counts are going down and the side effects are tolerable so I plan to continue on this drug as long as needed. | F | 53 | 4 months 1000 2X D | 10/23/2011 | 4 | Stage IV breast cancer | Hand/foot syndrome (severe drying, cracking in feet, not so much hands). Stomach bloating, occassional stomach aches, nausea, but not bad. Fatigue. | At first, hand/foot syndrome real bad, not controlled, though my feet still hurt sometimes. No loose stools ever. | M | 36 | 2 years | 3/10/2009 | 4 | Stage IV Breast Cancer/Bone Mets | Bloating, darkening and slight peeling of feet, excess mucous, eye tearing (1st week only), abdominal discomfort, dry wrinkled hands and fatigue. | Tumor markers are dropping so I will continue, side effects are a minor discomfort, not overwhelming. | F | 54 | 3 months | 4/5/2008 | 1 | Colon Cancer - Stage 2 | EXTREME pain in soles of both feet to the point of being in constant agony regardless of body position, plus a week after stopping dosage I lost my fingerprints and the ability to sweat in my hands. Both hands are as slick as porcelain. | If this drug is so helpful why is the dosage so extremely flexible? | M | 72 | 24 days | 9/26/2007 | 4 | Stage 4 bc bone mets | Tummy bloating and change in bowel habits but no diarrhea or any other side effects like hand/foot syndrome...but then my dose is only 2000mg day, 14 days on and 7 days off. tumor markers going down so this dose is working and easier to handle than others I've been on. | F | 60 | 6 months | 6/26/2007 | 2 | Metastatic breast cancer | Fatigue and, by the time I stopped it, an almost complete inability to eat or retain what I'd eaten. I was taking it with epirubicin and cisplatin so I'll put the other side-effects in the first few days after treatment down to them. But the nausea/loss of appetite went on continuously so was probably the oral Xeloda which was taken continuously. | The combination didn't apparently do me any good anyhow. Because of this and because my quality of life was so poor, I gave up the chemo after 3 months rather than doing another 3 months. | F | 40 | 3 months | 3/12/2007 | 2 | Advanced metastatic breast cancer | Swelling of abdomen, slight diarrhoea (stools = always yellow in colour), dry and itchy skin, cystytis. Exhaustion. | Taken in tablet form twice a day for 2 weeks and then a week's rest. I found side effects just as bad, if not worse, during the week off! Xeloda is metabolized to fluorouracil in the body. Exposure to chemo is longer than with intravenous treatment every 3-4 weeks. Maybe that's why I feel worse than on CMF most of the time. | F | 50 | 2 weeks | 10/10/2006 |
