Hi Cubbs,

Your Mum should have been given a number to phone in case she had any problems or questions. It would be worth ringing them and asking these questions there. They will be more than happy if she rings, rather than waiting for her next scheduled appointment. They will have access to her recent blood results which might help answer your questions.

I stupidly didn't ring under similar circumstances during my first round of chemo and ended up suffering side effects which were quite easily solved. 

Capecitabine is renowned for making you feel utterly lousy, it certainly had that effect on me. The good news is that it is very effective and worth persevering with, I'm sure I wouldn't be here now if not for it.

Good luck

Dave

Hi Dave,

after badgering Mum she caved and called the hospital and they advised her it’s perfectly normal as long as she is eating and has her appetite back on her 7 days off then there is no worry! 

Im glad it worked for you and your on the mend :)

fingers crossed for Mum it works all good so far she’s just very tired.
