This is a picture of my "treatment diary" that came with my Xeloda package from the oncologist. I take the Xeloda pills every morning and evening and fill in the information on the page. It's a good way to keep track of your progress and any side effects you may be having. One side effect I have is hand-foot syndrome - also known as palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, or PPE. Fortunately I have a very mild case of hand-foot syndrome, but for some reason I keep thinking its called hoof and mouth disease. Why is that? Wisconsin upbringing?

Nice diary. About as interesting as something I'd write.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I give up. What is hand-foot syndrome. Do you try to eat with your feet (really hard with chopsticks)? Run on your hands? Or something more mundane like swelling? Sores?
No dishwashing!
