My hand/foot syndrome has been unbearable lately. I have cracks on my hands & feet are always peeling & sore. I can hardly move my hands when I first wake up. I have tried udderly smooth, bag balm, etc. etc. and the only thing that gives me relief is using plastic gloves. I use the non-latex powder free ones & it keeps my hands from drying & hurting so bad. Cotton gloves don't help, my hands dry out shortly after putting them on. I just saw my onc yesterday & she wants me to take an extra week off the xeloda (I'm on my one week break now) to let them heal a little. I've been on xeloda/tykerb since 12/10.
