Hand and feet issues following Paclitaxol

Hi everyone,

Has anyone else been on Paclitaxol and ended up with issues with their hands and feet?

My hands are sort of okay now compared to 2 weeks ago, my doc ended up giving me steroid cream due to the redness, which cleared my hands up nicely.

But my feet right now, are super sore, the soles are becoming red, they are very very swollen and I seem to be getting blisters oh and they are very itchy!

I was wondering does anyone have any tips on how to help these? I have been soaking my feet in salt water but it doesn’t seem to be working now :confused:

I only have 1 week left of Paclitaxol, I am hoping it will start to clear up but I am really struggling.

Thank you! I’ve managed to get some new creams which I pick up tomorrow so hopefully they will work :slight_smile:

Im hoping that since Paclitaxol finishes for me tomorrow things might start to improve

Hopefully the new creams work for you :heart: a lot of us back in 2017 used udderly smooth with extra urea that we got off Amazon which helped quench skin when nothing else helped but we were fec-t chemo, so just sharing that if your new creams don’t help.
