hand/foot syndrome
Following admin of chemo, sml amts of drug leak out of very small blood vessels (capillaries) in the palms of your hand and soles of the feet. Exposre of hands and feet to heat or friction increases the amt of the drug in the capillaries and the amt of drug leakage. Results: redness, dry, peeling, or numbness or tingling sensations. Decadron will help to prevent this.
