capecitabine dose calculator

Mother (66F, colon CA IIIB) is starting her 4th round of XELOX (capecitabine+oxaliplatin) and has 4 more to go. Her neutrophils are naturally low (~1.6) without chemo (possibly related to the synthroid she has been taking since 2010?). By round 2 her neutro dropped to .6 so they gave her Neupogen and stopped capecitabine for 4 days. They gave her a longer-acting version of Neupogen before round 3 and lowered the dose of oxa to 90%. Before round 4 her neutro was back down at .9.

Hi there, I posted a few weeks ago to say my Mum may be going on a trial as they were all out of options. She started the trial yesterday. They are trying a combination of eribulin and capecitabine. As it's a phase 1 trial it's to establish a safe dose so she will be given the drugs in an increasing amount to see what the body can handle and the effect it has. I will keep you all posted on her progress and any good news that comes from the trial.

Capecitabine, Fluorouracil, and Oxaliplatin. All three drugs, whether used singly or as part of a combination regimen, are relatively well tolerated and have "milder" adverse effects when compared to other chemotherapy drugs.

The drugs involved are capecitabine and oxaliplatin, my instinct is to protect my remaining kidney by not exposing it to toxins it may have difficulty in clearing. Has anybody out there had a similar experience or has undergone chemo with similar complications?

I would suggest consulting you doctor for alternative brands for the same drug (capecitabine), that might be cheaper or considering alternative thereputic measures that you may be able to afford. It might also be a good idea to contact the social services in your region, if they would be in a position to help. Hope this is helpful. Take care!

Other side effects like neuropathy, hearing loss etc are less common and dose dependant ie they depend on the total dose of the drug given. You need to take care that your mom gets a good nutritious diet, fresh air, a little excercise, lots of tender loving care and support from family and friends. A positive attitude goes a long way in mitigating side effects of therapy and helping the body's immune system fight the cancer. So ensure that all of you stay positive and keep her motivated.

t really have any experience with Xeloda (Capecitabine) but just did a bit of reading on it and it seems to have quite good response rates so I hope it is successful for you. The drug should act on the tumor in the same way that 5-FU does as it is basically converted into 5-FU inside the tumor. This should mean fewer GI side effects and less bone marrow supression as you don't have 5-FU in the rest of your body... Good luck with it.

Yes.

This includes the drugs vinorelbine, capecitabine, gemcitabine and the taxanes. Still another option, particularly if the cancer is at an early stage, would be to use hormonal treatment alone instead of chemotherapy.

How accurate do you think the guideline for thyroxine therapy of 1.7 mcg/kg of body weight is? I am currently on a dose that is 3 times my body weight e.g 3 mcg/kg and still haven't normalised. What about everyone on here?

Are you referring to the Ovulation Calculator or the Ovulation Tracker? There isn't a way to put the Ovulation Calculator on your home page.
