New member - Question re oral chemotherapy capecitabine
Original post created by member @Brondocs - moved to Metastatic breast cancer discussions Hello, I am a new member and appreciate so much
hearing everyone’s stories. In May 2018, I was at work ...
I am sorry to hear that @Ellamary98 - make sure you check between the toes as well - sort of like tinea - if it cracks thru to the flesh, it could bleed & can be very painful. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
I definitely recommend a good podiatrist if you can, now & then as they really tidy up the whole foot & toenails with specialised tools (hubby's toenails have caked up too.) ... We see a really good one about every 2 months for hubby & his feet. The urea cream is very much recommended as well - some are stronger than the '15' too ... 20, 30 & 40% ... ask the podiatrist about it.
Our podiatrist also recommends NS21 cream for general heel & sole care .... Keep your hands moisturised as well to hopefully prevent them peeling too xx
