That is not a fun thing to have. I had it in the winter and had to wear those thick achorn slippers with about three pairs of socks. I could hardly walk it felt like I didn't have any skin on the soles of my feet. It got worse when I stopped it as my feet all peeled and toes cracked. I used lots of cream and really thought I was going to miss this foot and hand syndrome but low and behold it got me. I told the oncologist when it starts this time I am done until it clears up. Its too cold in Maine to wear slippers outside although, they do have some nice slippers these days! Gives us an excuse to buy a pair of these. hugs, Sandy
