Capecitabine

Dear all,

Has anyone had problems with their feet with this drug? What have you done to help? I’ve got a whopping blister on my little toe!
Many thanks

Hi

Has your oncologist prescribed cream to massage in twice daily? I have Eucerin UreaRepair or Hydromol to keep the splitting and blisters at bay. Both have 10% urea and are on prescription. If you’re not seeing your consultant in the near future, you can buy products from Amazon - look for Udderly. They do a 20% urea and it sounds like you need something strongish soon. It’s quite pricey though. There are also other products available but you need something sharpish.

Maybe you could ring your breast care nurse and ask their advice. They’d probably prescribe something, which would be better than buying it yourself. Hope you get it sorted xx
