HI ROSE -
I have been on Xeloda since December and have experienced some dryness on my hands and peeling on my feet(but tolerable) Along with the cream, my onc. suggested taking some Vitamin B complex.
I found the Bag Balm at a Animal feed store (since that is what they use on the cow's utters, they carry it there) I have heard that Eckerd's carries the utter cream, although it's not as thick as the bag balm which gives protection at night. I have also used regular petroleum jelly at night with gloves. I have been fortunate that my case is not severe. I deal with alot of paperwork and that adds to the dryness but all and all not too bad.Hopefully you will not have a bad case either.
Good luck
