Thanks to all of you! Brenda, Julie, Anne, Donna -- you have clarified my thinking on this. I have been in treatment of some kind for most of the past seven years. (Celebrated my 7th anniversary on August 8!) The worst things for me on the t/x have been the hand and foot symptoms and the fatigue. The diarrhea has tapered off and is manageable. I use Aveeno hand cream and foot cream, as well as the Ahava creams that someone else mentioned in a different thread. I take B-6 and avoid other B vitamins, sleep in socks (and sometimes gloves), and choose my shoes carefully. I have had to give up long walks and am starting my yoga practice again. This fall I go back to full time work after some months off to do this treatment. I am only hoping that I can handle the fatigue -- but I am lucky in that I can arrange most of my work hours to match my energy level.
I am so glad to have found this place to get good information and to share what I have learned and am learning as I go.
Thank you all.
Leatha
