Hi @arpie,
Such very good news for you and hubby after the harrowing last few months, I was on capecitabine for 36 months, it was hard but doable, my regime had to be changed and the dosage lowered after a 8 day stint in hospital due to toxicity but once that was sorted I managed, I did 12 days on 9 days off and 2 tabs morning and night instead of three, my feet and hands suffered quite badly, the skin peeled and they were very red angry and inflamed, I wore nothing on my feet except socks, lots of moisturizer didnt matter what brand, I used dermeeze in the bath it contained oatmeal and was quite soothing, they was no one real product that worked just a matter of keep trying, I found it quite difficult to walk at times and was not able to peel vegetables, however after all that, I kept going for almost three years, the drug certainly did its job and lowered my markers, it was just a matter of dealing with the side effects, I have photos of my hands and feet but I dont think people want to see them!! as you said if all is going okay and he is happy then onwards and upwards,you are one amazing lady arpie and I just know that your husband appreciates all you are doing for him, I am so happy that I too have a very supportive partner, with something like this its so important to have someone that supports you.Keep on keeping on.
