Re: Xeloda and Tykerb tomorrow - side effects?
Alice,
It leaves my feet orangish, but it fades pretty fast. It's also very drying, so I use a lot of moisturizer (Bag Balm & Udderly Smooth). So far, so good...and this is coming from someone that had a bad time on Doxil...sore, red,peeling hands and feet. As soon as I was off the Doxil and on to Xeloda, I began using henna. Now, I don't have nearly this issue....some redness and pain, but very tolerable.
