Hi all
I did 3.5 years of xeloda and avastin.
I found that bag balm worked the best
I would use it in the evening and then put heavy socks and gloves on to sleep

Presently I will make 8 years on Jan 8 2023 stage 4
It has been quite a journey and I am thankful for every day

Stay strong
Happy new year

Sally

Welcome back, Sally and thanks for answering the tag. I wasn’t sure if you were still getting emails from Connect. Eight years! A very special happy new year to you too.

SallyG: I am so happy for you! 8 yrs of stage 4, fabulous. I’ve got bag balm on order. Somehow soaking my feet in cold water ( which I despise:) before putting the cortisteroid cream on helps too. Would you be available for a private email chat about your experience? I’m wondering what followed Xeloda/Avastin. . . Adana
