Hi all,
My mother is on almost week 3 with Xeloda. I know they mentioned the hand and foot rash syndrome. The other day, my mother had her house bombed for fleas. I looked at her feet and they didn't look like flea bites. I mean she may have had two flea bites but I kept telling her that it was probably the side effects kicking in.
Did your rash start out as an itchy rash or bug bite type of rash on feet? (like flea bites?) She also has them on side of torso and radiation area. I know this all can be answered by the dr. or nurses, but to me it looks like side effects. We put the Utterly smooth lotion on feet and hands. I keep reminder her to moisturize daily and the radiation pelvic area.
Thank you,
Stacy
