Hello. I’m on cycle 2 of 8 capecitabine cycles (after chemo, lumpectomy, radiotherapy) and the soles of my feet have in the last 36 hours gone red, tiny bit swollen, tingly and I’m thinking plantar-palmar syndrome. I’ll speak to my help line tomorrow but I’d love to hear other people’s experience: what treatment they got, how long it lasts during/after chemo, did they have to reduce/ stop the dose (I’m terrified of having to stop in case any remaining cancer cells get a chance to reproduce) could they carry on doing exercise, running etc. ( can’t face the thought of having to stop the exercising I’m doing to help me recover/ avoid recurrence, like we are told to do. )
I’m a bit anxious so any experiences or advice welcome. Thanks
