Oral chemotherapy can affect people differently, and it's completely natural to want to hear about others' experiences before starting or while going through treatment. Many community members have shared that side effects can vary widely from person to person based on the specific medication, dosage, and individual factors. Consider connecting with others here who may have taken similar treatments, and remember that your healthcare team can provide the most personalized guidance about what to expect and how to manage any effects that might come up.

I take the chemo pills and only have felt sleepiness when I’m home not doing anything. When I’m at work I am fine and active. I take capacitibine 500mg 4 pills in the morning and at night when I have radiation. I hope this helps god bless🙏🏽
