Oral chemo is 25% finished today. And overall, going okay. The biggest side effects are “life altering” stomach issues and Hand Foot Syndrome - where your hands and feet blister, peel, hurt, turn red, etc.
Ways to minimize the issue - Vitamin E has shown to help, 40% urea cream, socks on all the time, and (cancer cure all) - aquaphor.
I’ve done all of those, but last weekend - it felt like little blisters were forming around my feet.
Today, they are more pronounced. I’ve been really trying to wear socks and do the rest of the “could help” things. Here’s hoping no large issues so that I can finish on time.
Only positive I saw saw that Hand Foot Syndrome is tied to overall survival in a positive way for me.
Until next time ♥️
