Hi Karen

I don't post very often but read often. I am very sorry to read about this. I am praying for you too. I haven't any experience with Doxil but I did have 5-FU, and that too, can cause significant hand foot syndrome. I had very, very little of it and I think that was because I held ice bags in my hands and set my feet on ice bags while I received the infusion, thus possibly preventing the leaking of the drug into the capillaries in the hands and feet. Also, I was religious about putting Aquafor on my hands(palms especially) and feet(soles especially) every night before bed. I wore socks on my feet as Aquafor can get pretty messy. With my hands, I just tried to be mindful to not touch too much of the bedding. I think both of these things helped immensely. Please let me know if you have any questions about it. Praying for you.
