Today I went to start my 3rd cycle of topotecan. But my C.A was up from 392 to 700. So did not get my treatment but my oncologist gave me a prescription for xeloda medication pill form .is anyone familiar with this chemo medication. I have had about 5 different chemo medications. So hope this one does the trick. The other treatments have all been done through my port; this has some of the same side effects as doxil. Sore hands and feet. I am 74 years old active and a pretty strong person, I am alone so have to be. Any one with info on this would appreciate hearing from you. Shawna
