@djchambers It is called hand foot syndrome. It is a common side effect of capecitabine. I use Cerave Moisturizing Cream on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet a few times a day to help manage it. I also ice my hands and feet a few times a day when necessary to help with the swelling.

Oh gosh. Side effects.
What is the typical dosage for capecitabine? I heard 3 pills in morning and 3 in evening but I am not sure if mg per pill or per day. And how long are you on this drug? Still waiting to hear from specialty pharmacy since we had a snow blizzard in northeast.
