Horrible 3Rd Cycle Sutent- Hand&Foot Syndrome

Dear Rajasaju,

I was on Sutent for 12 cycles at 50 mg doses. I had the foot and hand syndrom, however it was not too bad. My sister, who has been an oncology nurse for about 25 years gave me the following information that is recommended to patients receiving Sutent. I used this from almost the very begining of my treatment.  She told me to take 3- 100 mg tablets of vitamin B-6 a day. I usually took two in the AM and one before I went to bed. Also, I used "Udder Smooth" to help with the dryness and "Udder Balm" to help with the sores. I have also seen a post in which someone used ice on their feet when they got inflammed and hot to the touch. I wish I would have found out about that one earlier. Anyway, check with you Dr before you start the vitamins to make sure it's OK.

 Hang in there!

Terry
