Sorry, I don't know much about the chemo meds but wondered what happened to your mother on Xeloda? My mother starts Xeloda Monday, 2 pills in AM and 3 pills in PM. She's 84 and has heart problems so we're VERY nervous. Your news adds to my anxiety and I was curious what to watch for. We have even considered going to a holistic doctor. Good luck to your and your Mom.
