I'm a week past the halfway mark of Xeloda (I'm doing six three-week rounds). So far so good! The first week I felt a little achey but I think it might have been in my head, anyway, I found that exercise helped so I am doing a short cardio workout 5x a week and plenty of walks.
I have been keeping my hands and feet moisturized and hoping to avoid the hand and foot syndrome. I even got some moisturizing hand and foot masks!
