I have been on Xeloda/Tykerb since end of August. At first I had diarrhea and had the Xeloda decreased. My body did get use to it. My feet seem fine but my fingers are getting very numb and I am dropping everything. Its getting difficult to button my clothes, unable to get covers off jars and writing with a pen is getting bad. I am typing o.k. My thumb and finger on my right hand are peeling but only the top layer. I use lots of cream several times a day and everytime I get up in the night to go to bathroom or/and get a drink. I make sure I have gloves on when I got outside. Its cold here where I live. I hope this helps. hugs Sandy
