Hi all. 

Strange subject I know, but I’m suffering from hand and finger stiffness probably caused by my letrozole and/or zoladex treatment for secondary male breast cancer. My oncologist commented in passing that olive oil can help. So I’m intrigued. Does anyone use this?  What’s the science behind I t? Does it work? And how is it applied? After all, I can’t go around all day with greasy hands, I’ll have dogs following me in the street Joy  

Keep smiling. 

Cheers

Ian

  • Hi

    I'm sorry to hear about your stiff hands and fingers which must be very uncomfortable for you. I wonder if your oncologist meant that you swallowed it rather than rubbed it in?

    I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you post this question in the secondary breast cancer group, which I can see you've posted in before. If you'd like to do that clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.

    Done. Thanks. 

    I was under the impression she meant rub it in. Joy. I may be wrong. 

    Cheers
