Xeloda red hot feet!
Hi folks, I'm on my second round of Xeloda/Tykerb/Herceptin. My feet are killing me! I got the 'walking on hot coals' at the end of the first three weeks, on 2nd round of three weeks and I can barely walk! I've been using a good moisterizer and socks at night to keep them soft but still it's been excruciating to walk at all the past two days. Any ideas??? I read somewhere that a henna poultice takes the heat away but I can't find that post now. Any info??? Thanks to anyone who sees this and can help!
Leslie
