kk1 and Flori
kk1 thankfully the onc has stopped the drug today ending the cycle a day early and we'll start the next cycle at a lower dose as I suggested to him, I'm a average build person and my husband questioned the amount of drug thinking it was alot........
flori, I have done the epsom salt bath with cool not cold water and have one pair of sandals that I can wear, and my husband suggested going to the beach and walking in the salt water, we live only 10 miles from the altantic ocean and at this time of year it's definetly cold
I have used bag balm, gold star ultra cream, plain old jergins lotion and so far not much improvement, but I'm hoping that in the next week things will improve...
thanks
