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
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. . I may be wrong.
Cheers
