Hubby HATES CREAM! I say that casually, but he REALLY HATES CREAM!..... and yes he almost slipped in the bathroom & mumbled all the way back to bed
But, I kept saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure & I KNOW you didn't like to be flat on your butt in bed with sore feet, so he kept slathering
The best suggestion was actually the kool (not cold, not hot) water in a small tub & soaking a couple of times/ day. It keeps the capillaries from building up the chemo & trying to dispel out of your tootsies.
The pill form was a pleasurable experience relative to the hooking up to port/ portable overnight pump ordeal. A lot more freedom & more normal routine like taking a daily vitamin
Glad tips are useful!!! Can't remember the best cream (and hubby is snoozing, or I'd sneak in the bedroom)...... but I did post it recently on a Erbitux Rash question. It seriously got rid of his grade 3 blisters within several days, which amazed me (as much as how quickly it came on)
I wish you gals HUGE success with Stivarga and ZERO side effects!
