I'm experiencing very dry, sore lips and have been recommended Elizabeth Arden 8 hour Lip Repair balm, has anyone else tried this?

    Hi I am on Fec and have gone back to my old favourite Blistex Relief Cream,it contains a small amount of phenol which numbs and acts as an antiseptic.It is exceptionally moisturizing and softening.

    Another thought are you keeping hydrated,especially at night? Dehydration shows especially in the lips and Fec are very strong drugs your body is trying to clear.

    Hi OscarTheCatgotmehere - thanks for the Blistex tip - time to invest in a tube of that :-)

    Trying very hard to keep hydrated and drinking water regularly through the night however keeping the thirst/dehydration at bay seems a real battle. Only one more round of FEC to go then I'm hoping the move to Docetaxel will be kinder
