Irene-


I am so happy for you - I remember how excited I was to hear that i would get the tykerb with the xeloda, and how eagerly I waited for the doctor's office to tell me could come in and pick it up...

The immodium is a good idea, as would be the the cream for your hands and feet. I know some like bag balm, but I find it so greasy to be unusable. I prefer the Udderly Smooth udder cream, and my local CVS carries it!! Also, I tend to get the splits in the hands at joints as opposed to the peeling, so I always have antibiotic cream and band-aids, which come in handy...

Since you were on the xeloda before, you know not to "tough it out" to finish a cycle if the H/F kicks in - call your onc and keep him posted of developments...

I love Italy, and hope to get back again soon - have a wonderful trip.

Good luck with things,
Shell
