Hey Cate,
Just wondering if the rash has gotten worse since starting Xeloda & that the extreme heat you are experiencing is also something new ? Given that you have had this rash since Christmas, have you noticed that the symptoms/rash/side effects are worsening ?
Yes, hand & foot syndrome falsely leads us to believe hand & foot only !!!
As Xeloda is tablet form, I guess it is prescribed from your oncologist directly & that the oncology dept where you are having treatment could be a go-to option is not an option ?
@Cate64, I am so sorry that you are having so much grief here. Perhaps some of our lovely admin ladies could provide some help here (or Cancer Council) ??
Big hugs xxx
