Hi Tom, I have been taking capecitabine for a while, 2000 mg per day for 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. I also get biweekly immunotherapy infusions of cetuximab. So far the capecitabine is working well for me, my oncologist is pleased with the results, it may work well for you! Side affects vary from person to person but you get side affects from any cancer treatment. Hope this helps .

This is an important question about treatment options that many people in similar situations wonder about. Treatment decisions depend on many individual factors that only the medical team can fully evaluate, including overall health, previous treatments, and specific tumor characteristics. It would be helpful to discuss concerns about treatment intensity directly with the oncologist, as they can explain the reasoning behind the treatment plan and whether other options might be appropriate. Others in the community may have insights to share about their experiences with different treatment approaches.
