Hi thanks for the tip, I have been on xeloda for 20 months and it has been a VERY challenging time,so very happy to hear from someone who has been on this drug for 5 years, good on you!! I have tried various creams and potions but have finally found one that is a one stop treatment, its called DERMAVEEN bath and shower oil with colloidal oatmeal and is the best thing for me, I put about 20ml into a running bath and then just soak in it,like you I have trouble with what type of shoe I can wear due to friction, so anything fashionable is out the window, my hands have actually caused me the most angst, I have to wear white cotton gloves to drive and I have a cleaner once a fortnight to do the vacuuming and washing the floors, gardening also is out, however all is not lost, the drug is doing its job and my tumour markers remain low and 4 of the 6 tumours in my liver have "disappeared", so I will keep on xeloda until things change, but again so very very happy to hear from a 5 year user of this drug, you are the first person I have had the opportunity to "chat" to, perhaps you could let me know about your diagnosis,
