Has Anyone Had Negative Side Effects from Xeloda?

I had diarrhea. Dr gave me imodium. I used it carefully so I didn't get constipated.

I’m on Xeloda. No side effects, luckily.

I had to come off it for 3 weeks. I had to get fluid IVS twice in one week started back on it with half the dose then will talk about moving to full dose. Dr said it was not a normal reaction. Ugh 😫

I spoke too soon yesterday. I woke up this morning and the bottom of my feet hurt so bad, I can’t hardly walk. I don’t know if there’re anything you can do for hand-foot syndrome.

Hi Karen, try to keep your feet well moisturized. I was told to use utterly smooth. I also used aquapore. Keep so ks on after applying. My feet got so bad my doctor delayed the next xeloda round by a week. Hang in there.

Diarrhea can be a challenging side effect that many people experience with Xeloda, and it's important to stay in close contact with your healthcare team about any symptoms lasting this long. Many others in this community have shared similar experiences with various treatments, so you're definitely not alone in dealing with difficult side effects during your cancer journey.

Thank for sharing your experiences with Xeloda; my Dr. may switch me to that if he takes me off of Enhertu.

For hands and feet syndrome my Dr gave me diclofenac sodium gel. It worked good.
