Hello hello
Ive been taking capecitabine for the past few months and think im getting the start of the dreaded hand & foot syndrome! Feet have gone very red and a slight burning tingling sensation!
Any advice or tips to ease this?
Thank you and big loves
Hello Lilmisssunshine . I'm not from this group, so no help with what you are experiencing but I noticed your post was slipping through without reply. By giving it a bump it will bring it back to the fore and attract more attention and someone with experience may be along to help. You could also try posting in the Ask a Nurse section where you would get some professional advice. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
