A tip to ease hand-foot syndrome side effects
Hand-foot syndrome, or Palmar Plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE) can be a side effect of chemotherapy, as I found out. It is not a nerve thing - it is a skin toxicity associated with some chemo chemical...
I suffered hand and foot syndrome while doing Taxol . My hands and feet were red and burning. I used I've packs wrapped in a tea towel to relieve symptoms. The strange thing is I finished chemo in July last year and still have flare ups . My oncologist said you can't still be getting it. All I know is it's not in my head lol.
