Thanks for all the prayers and phone calls. It means a lot to me to have so much support as I continue to deal with the
November 6 was the last day I took Xeloda, 20 days ago. As time has gone on, all of my skin that had burned like fire has died and started to peel. Prior to taking the medicine my feet were as smooth and soft as ever. Not now, though! The skin on my hands and feet is coming off in large pieces. The skin on my chest, shoulders and back is flaking off daily and doesn't seem as if it will stop any time soon. I am posting some photos I took today of my hands and feet in their current condition. My hands have been peeling for over a week and are still very sensitive to heat and are very tender. I can now grip things without pain if I use a towel. My feet started peeling yesterday in huge sheets. They are very, very tender today. Walking on carpet feels cool and walking on tile feels like walking on ice. There are areas on my feet that are super sensitive and other areas, not so much. Below are pictures of my hands, feet and the skin I peeled off of them. There is still a lot more skin to come off my feet.
