Hello,
I have received 4 doxil treatments so far. It seems to be the right drug for me as my CA 125 is decreasing. Last time I had a treatment (10-24)my gyn/oncologist doubled the dose. I developed that hand-foot syndrome, only of the hands, and also a rash over my entire body. It started 2 days after the treatment on the 26th. I am using all kinds of creams (but not steroids as is recommended). My local internist says he thinks I can't have a steroid shot, being on chemo. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this? Is there anything else that works besides calamine lotion, bag balm, aveeno baths, benadryl cream and pills? I have to call CTCA today because the rash seems to just stay the same and is not getting any better. It is very annoying and driving me crazy!!!
