I had to switch onc. Had really bad hand pain, he sent me to the er. I could see my hands totally red. The ER doc called him and they both decided I was just nervous and needed to go home and sleep. I went to his office and got my charts and switched to another onc right then and their. I was told i have the onset of neropathy and the new doc put me on b6 and lyrica. Still have some burning pain and dryness but I feel better than the crazy Woman who has nothing wrong with her. We r our own best advocate!

I have some scaling in my hands now, but am keeping them lotioned up. Any other suggestions?
