Xeloda

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?

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.
