Hi @pb50, Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a common skin reaction to systemic chemotherapy. I think your daughter may have contracted Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease which is pretty common with children. The names sound the similar but one is communicable where the syndrome related to chemo is pretty specific. I hope your granddaughter recovered quickly.
