Hand Foot Syndrome

I am in my second year of treatment with Sutent. I have had stable scans since  I began. I take 37.5 mg. I was thinking of giving up on Sutent because of my sore feet. I could hardly walk. I went to see a podiatrist, actually my 3rd podiatrist. He sracped the hard sore blisters from my feet, gave me some heavy foam inserts, and told me to use D & E ointment after my morning shower. My feet are 75% better. I have my life back. I also use Tylonel on occasion, if I have a long day on my feet. I also started taking 50mg of Vitamin B6, which I read on line might help. My oncologist gave the OK to take the vitamin. If you are having this problem don't give up.

My husband has a lot of trouble with his hands and feet and I am going to get his this D&E ointment and will ask our oncologist about the vit. B6.  Good luck, God Speed you to health and thank you for the info!  I'm Karen, Rays Wife.
