There wasn't a lot to report during this cycle which is why I held off bogging. Having said that in the last few days my hands and feet have become a lot more sensitive and are staying to puff up again. They are much redder.
Instead of Niall this week I met with Yvonne who stands in for Niall on occasions. She is interesting and knows her stuff although without the history I didn't ask a couple of the questions I was going to ask Niall.
What was interesting was she told me that the reddening and the drying of the skin etc was likely caused by the Capecitabine, I had thought it was the Carboplatin. So going on what Niall had told me before the n neuropathy is caused by the Carboplatin and then the peeling of the hands and feet is caused by the Capecitabine. Which means they are separate side effects and not part of the same side effect. I had linked them together. Interesting what I keep finding out.
Anyway I am here for round 3, treatment remains the same no changes.
