Ok so here I am seven days after my first treatment and so so sorry I didn't use ice packs. The nurse told me not to worry just cut your nails and put hardener on my nails. I was too scared to go to the shops to see if I could get some ice packs. :( I've been crying with the pain in my hands for days. Cant feel the tips of my fingers and my hands are red and feel like I've had them cooked in the oven! My feet are better but the heels and big toe were painful so couldn't walk properly. This is going to kill me before the cancer! I had to use ice packs to cool the skin down 24 7, its eased in the last two days and now my skin is peeling off. I rang the Dr last week when it started happening and he put me on Lyric for the nerve pain and Endone for pain. To make matters worse straight away I broke out in spots/ sores on my legs arms and chest, look like I've got chicken pox! Im seeing him next week and I hope he will change me to something better. Luckily now I have been in contact with a lady that I met at a therapy meeting and shes going to give me mits and cold packs that she used. Im definitely not going through this again. :(
