A member asked:
My grandma takes 3000 mg of chemotherapy pill named xeloda (capecitabine). what does it do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast/colon cancer: Xeloda (capecitabine) (www.xeloda.com) is used to treat both breast and colon cancers. Check out http://www.drugs.com/xeloda.html for more info. Consider having a family member accompany her to each of her appointments. A second pair of ears is always helpful. Be sure to bring all medications (from all doctors) + over-the-counter stuff to each visit.
