Wink Re: 9 years this week

I am so glad to see your post Pam. I hope the Herceptin/Tykerb/Xeloda/Aromasin is working for you. In the meantime I am glad the side effects have been manageable so far,except for the hand/foot syndrome.
Keep looking for help for that. In the meantime keep putting a good fragrance free cream on your hands and feet. I wonder if good old petroleum jelly would help?
I read something about olive oil helping dry peeling skin, but I don't know if it works. Take good care of yourself.
