I took Xeloda for six months and used moisturizer cream on my hands and feet during that time. Only issue was fatigue but that might have been partly due to preceding chemo and surgery.

What experiences have MyBCTeam members shared about taking capecitabine?
Unfortunately, the search results provided don't contain specific information about capecitabine experiences from MyBCTeam members. The results focus on other breast cancer treatments and their side effects.
However, I can share that capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy commonly used for breast cancer. Like other chemotherapy drugs, it can cause side effects that vary from person to person.
Common side effects that members have discussed with other oral and IV chemotherapy treatments include:
• Nausea and digestive issues
• Fatigue
• Mouth sores
• Changes in taste
• Hand-foot syndrome (redness, swelling, or pain on palms and soles)
To get the most relevant experiences, you might want to search MyBCTeam specifically for "capecitabine" or "Xeloda" (the brand name) to connect with members who have taken this medication. They can share practical tips about managing side effects and what to expect.
Make sure to discuss any concerns with your oncologist, and ask about medications to help manage potential side effects before they start.
