Xeloda
Hi,
Today I started on Xeloda and am worried about side effects. Earlier this year I found I had more metastes in my hip and collar bone. The Oncologist put me on Everolimus and I was unable to tolerate it. I ended up in hospital for 10 days. I would love to hear from other people who are on Xeloda.

Yes, I am going through lots of moo goo! When at home I put heaps on and wear my ' charming' sock things but I have to remember not to use it if going out because my feet slip around in shoes. It is way too hot to be wearing socks out! Fortunately, my local pharmacy sells it. Apparently vinegar baths close pores and protect cracks from becoming infected.

Have you tried MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream yet? I use it all the time and have heard from many others that it really does work/help with hands and feet. It is recommended by many Oncolologists. Some chemist may stock it, if not, they have a website and are located in Tweed Heads.

I put lotion on my hands and feet constantly. On my feet before bed, and when I get up I put it on them, and put socks on. Bag Balm works great too. Its very greasy, so I only put it on my feet. Diabetic hand lotion works great on the hands too. That was what I used the first time through this. My finger nails split down from the tops, and that is not fun.

Xeloda still causing me feet and hand problems so dosage reduced to three tablets daily. Also the watery eyes continuing but just been prescribed a cream for that. Vinegar baths recommended for hands and feet. I am happy to put up with these inconveniences if xeloda is destroying the cancer! Always intriguing how these drugs affect us all so differently. Good luck to all those on xeloda.
I am so happy for you Tracy! . Those are my hopes for my results too.
