Docetaxel.... Taxing
Day 9 - after round six.
Why is it you go to bed, you ARE tired, and it takes 3 hours to fall asleep??? Ok the fact that my hands and feet were on fire may have contributed.... I don't know how to ...
Hi there gorgeous lady... no suggestions for falling asleep but I have found a mirracle cure for dry skin during AC that maybe can help you too.
Nivea cream. Just basic cream that comes in a blue tub - not the various versiona of their lotions and potions. Yes it is very thick when applied and takes a while to absorb so best done in bed and I apply it to hands and feet as in the 1st round my hands blistered completely - and my heels cracked and bled.
Nivea saved me in the 1st round and is now managing to keep blistering and cracking at bay. I rub it generously into my feet three times daily and hands after almost every handwashing and it is working. Feet feel good and hands feel tender but no actual visible signs of dey skin and no blisters or cracks...
I hope it helps you too - and you can pick up a blue tub of Nivea cream in any supermarket these days...
