Hi. I am just finishing round 2 of the Capecitabine and am about to have a week off. Round 1 went pretty well. Now I have more red patches on my face and forearms. Backs of my hands are red and have a quite angry rash. All these are copable. Using euracin 4 times a day as recommended by the oncology nurse
My main symptom now is sore feet. They haven't cracked as using 25 percent urea twice a day and creaming with Epimax every 2 hours. Am shuffling. I have memory foam slippers and socks used for walkers and blisters. I am starting to struggle with everything. Thank-you for listening
