    I have had Xeloda by itself two different times. I had more problems with Hand-Foot Syndrome and how heat affected me. I can tell you much about that.

    But Headache? If I had it, I must have been able to get rid of it with an Excedrin or asperin as I don’t remember that being a big issue. As always, telling your oncologist, nurse, clinic nurse about it should give you some benefit.

    Kathy…..I hope for others to chime in with their experiences, but thought to mention that white blood count or neutropenia had been mentioned as cause for headaches and other side effects of Xeloda. I would make sure to report to the physician.

    Hi All-

    So, I’m day 5 of my first cycle of oxaliplatin and xeloda, post-surgery. The last two days I’ve had a terrible headache (which can be a side effect of xeloda). Anyone have any experience with something to help the headache? I’m trying to work through the chemo this time, but the headache just will not give up.

    Thanks in advance,

    Kathy
