Xeloda

thank you for your well wishes.  Good news, I saw the oncologist today & my tumours are showing reduced activity in all areas. 

my oncologist said that it was better than just being stable, which was what we were hoping for.

I will be staying on xeloda, & put up with the side effects as long as its working.  Iam on a reduce dose now and so far no burning feet.

Thank you to all the pink sisters who wished me well.

I've got everything crossed for you Wendy :)  I'm having a bone scan late next week and am positive all will good. Take care.

I have been on Xeloda since september last year.

I have trouble with burning feet, which have been very painful when walking.

Moo goo cream is soothing, also I've tried paw paw cream.

Last cycle was so bad by the 5th day,   I had to stop for a week.  My Oncologist has reduced the tablets to 4 a day and so far my feet have been fine this cycle.

Had a bone scan the other day, fingers crossed, when I see the oncologist this week it will be better news.

I told my dr about the nails splitting, and he told me to soak them in apple cider vinnegar.   I have not tried that yet.

My nails split from top up too.  Any ideas what we can do to prevent that from happening?

Julie,

Try places like the Body Shop or those shops that sell bath stuff (soaps, lotions etc).  I have a  spare pair I can send to you if you would like to email me your address - [email protected] :)

Me too. I would like to get another couple pair of those sockettes. Does anyone know where you can buy them?
