Xeloda -- foot care
Hi Xeloda users! This might not be news, but it was news to me so I thought I'd post it. I've been taking Xeloda for nearly five years, so have tried many potions and pastes on my feet to keep them ...

Hi @Chantellep,
Great to hear from you again, pity about the bad weather on the cruise, good to hear you are walking again,I find that I have to keep socks on,that helps but still get the cracking and dead skin, just part and parcel of the side effects, still it keeps on working, I am coming up to my five year anniversary in June and have been on xeloda for over 2 years now,when I last saw my oncologist I said I hoped I could go 5 years, well see, my ca markers have risen very very slowly but still in the normal range,I am on my 9 days off now, which in effect means I get two clear days as it takes 7 days for the xeloda to get out of my system, then start all over again, now the weather is getting cooler FINALLY, the side effects arent quite as bad, and it means I can go outside in the garden,we have just had the first decent rain for three months, so lovely to lay in bed and listen to the rain on our tin roof!!
