My Dad is 78 and was diagnosed with inoperable bladder cancer (due to his breathing) in April of 2007. He has been undergoing chemo/radiation and is experiencing severe hand and foot pain, with his hands actually turning white. The doctors have prescribed Plavix (a blood thinner) for this and I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this type of side effect. I was expecting neuropathy from the chemo, but not the kind of pain he is experiencing. I would appreciate any comments or even any advice as to what else we can expect as we go through the chemo/radiation.
