Hi I have just been reading some lovely threads about the above and they seem to have stopped. How is everyone doing?

I am on Avelumab and Axitinib and have been on it since late December 21  I have sore feet  which Is responding to Uddely smooth and some cheap 99p from Home Bargain.  The treatment   seems to be playing games with with a rash that is a bit like a mozzy you swot it with cream and it pops up somewhere else , swot it again and  pops up again it’s not painful just a nuisance so given up now.

Other than feeling a bit wiped out after treatment I am coping fine but my main problem is muscle /joint pain in my back and knee , my legs feel like lead at the moment and I am super scared and  emotional . I hope that this is one of the phases that seem to come and go. Has anyone else had these problems? How are others feeling?

best wishes

  • Hi I'm on the same treatment and yes out the blue my feet are.painful.espescially my heals find standing on cold floor helps lol and itchy skin seems to move from different areas each day let's hope its all worth it hey take care and good look x

  • Hi Chester fc I am playing chase the rash and itch too , it’s like a flipping mozzy you think you have swotted it and then it pops up elsewhere .  My beaks are really painful too ,I am constantly massaging foot cream. I asking had cracked feet just under my toes but ‘Udderly Smooth ‘ moisturising cream helped with that.  I wonder how many others are on the same treatment.   As you say it’s all worth it and we should be thankful that the treatment is there.  Take care of you too and hope all goes smoothly for you , give me a shout any time x

  • Hi I’ve been on the same treatment since November, my feet are ok but have got dry skin, and my legs feel heavy at times and my right hip is sometimes sore, other from that all good, but like you I feel wiped out after treatment x

  • Hi , good to hear from you , I have had one or two side effects but nothing too bothersome, the pain in my heal has gone, the rash isn’t a problem and dry feet are sorted now, the only real problem is  sore feet, since starting treatment I have used the udderly smooth cream which is a help for any dryness now I am trying Vaseline on my feet too. 
    keep in touch and let me know how you go on Relaxed

  • Hi again, how are you feeling now ?
    I have  started massaging Vaseline and it seems to be working on the dry skin but have red patches of really sore  bits so hope it helps on them too.
