red hands, feet... chemo?

[charlotte]

I have red knuckles on both of my hands and on my feet... It is very painful to walk on and my hands are very sore .. Could this be a side effect from the chemo?? I am on gemzar, and taxetore (spelling)... I had round 6 monday of chemo.

If this is so, what can I do about it??? I am taking pain pills and putting ice packs on my hands... is there anything else I can do...??

thanks for any suggestions.....
