hi
I am on my hols typically! I am on my week off capecitabine and am on lapatanib only. today i woke up with itchy legs. gone off a bit now but still a bit sensitive. anyone else had this? I would have to be away from home, hard to get in touch with my nurse

sorry can’t help as only on capecitabine and not had sensitive legs but hoping this message “bumps” so you get a reply.
hoping it’s not spoiling your holiday too much

hoping someone responds soon - how are the legs now?

Hi Sarah – I’m on capecitabine only, so I don’t know whether the lapatanib might be causing you these problems, but I have had several instances of rashy, itchy skin, that I thought might be caused by the capecitabine. Or it might be something to do with heat & sun, if you’re on holiday somewhere sunny & warm? Hope it’s just “a blip”, and disappears in time for you to enjoy the rest of your hols! xx

phoned chemo unit and nurse got in touch with onc, i have an allergic reaction and am now taking periton.I was a bit weepy yesterday. Still if the tabs do the trick then its worth it
