I had to go to a lower dose, one week on/one week off to lessen my hand foot syndrome. Calendula, spa socks and gloves, and all the ointments I'd used for radiation helped keep the cracking sort of to a minimum. Started to loose my toenails by the end, but I was only on it for a year. (Not MBC, just agressive S3 TNBC).

Hugs. 😟

Hi. Thanks for responding. Could you tell me what dose you were taking? Sounds like you’re no longer on it? It’s good to know that one week on is an option if it gets too tough,
