Thank you! My son is my rainbow! 🌈 I just got the clearance to exercise so I am going work on getting down a couple more sizes and work on writing some songs! I am looking at this as an opportunity to just be! Its been a while since I could do that. I am so glad you made it to the other side. I couldn’t imagine being in the hospital that much. 4 days after my surgery was enough for me!

I love the "just be" part of that!

I have no personal experience with HFS... I guess I got lucky.

Here's some info about it I found:
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24105-hand-foot-syndrome
Notice that 5FU is listed as one of the causes.

The article has some advice for treatment of symptoms.

Meanwhile, hang on! you'll get through it.

Last, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
