Hi Wendy
Interesting to see how your feet and hands are doing off Xeloda. I have been off Xeloda now for 5 weeks (4 weeks as a wash out for a clinical trial and one week on trial with Abemaciclib) and my hands and feet have been slow to improve. Obviously, the acute inflammation has ceased, but still have dry and peeling skin. I am not sure how long it will take them to get back to normal. I am also wondering if I will get my fingerprints back!
I hope you get through this heat. Bad here in Melbourne today (around 41 degrees) and I just had my electricity turn off for about 40 minutes! My apartment is in a roof space, so heated up quickly and even though the air conditioning is back on it is not that cool. They are suggesting a dramatic cool change at around 3pm.
Cheers
Lisa
