I'm half way thru my 12wks of taxotera that I get every 3wks. Question, has any one had hand & Foot syndrome. If you have please share bcuz it's driving me crazy....hands itching red and swollen feet just burn and are peeling very rough with calluses forming, I've never had rough or cracking feet. Dr said continue with oral benadryl and use benadryl cream, neither of which are really helping alot bcuz my hands still itc.

    my onc had me use "Udderly Smooth" cream on my hands and feet. And avoid excess pressure on feet. I got it OTC at Walgreens in the lotion section. It is in a white tub with red and black cow print on the outside . I put it on 2-3 times a day. It helped . He said the urea in it helps by keeping the feet and hands hydrated .
