    Hugh that is really great news considering. I am hoping that as she more used to the program it will be easier on her, but she should definitely let the ONC know if the side effects continue. Much good luck to you both!

    Hi Hugh,

    Thanks for letting us know how day 1 went for your wife with her new treatment. It sounds like it went well for her and my fingers are crossed that day 2 and the coming days also go smoothly as well. Remember to keep us updated on everything and yes, this is certainly the right place for you to post!

    My best to you and your wife,

    Gavin

    Hi everyone, (is this the right place to post?? if not please let me know)

    just to give a little update on my wife treatment.

    She took 3 Xeloda (500mg) right after breakfast… seems everything find.

    Then 6pm (due to full booking, might change to noon next week) we went to hospital and she did the IMRT. only took like 10min for her to walk in and out of that huge door.

    we arrived home around 7pm and she said shes tired and went to took a nap.

    8:30pm she woke up and we have dinner.. she ate only half of normally did..

    After dinner around 9pm she start feeling nausea and vomit. but she said she felt much better and took the night pills 2 (500mg) and went to bed at 10pm.

    conclusion for day1 : Xeloda seems ok for her.. she didn’t feel weird, but after IMRT she looks tired and felt nausea.

    lets see what happen on day 2.
