His lung mets have stopped shrinking so has been placed on new regime, unfortunately he didnt ask what and when we looked at bottles on his tree all had numbers and not the name of the drug. He is having problems with cracked skin on hands and feet and what sounded like numbness or pins and needles in them. Spots on face, neck and chest and also 4 teeth have fallen out in past month and some bleeding under finger nails and one has dropped off. Sounds b.... awful and I hoped that someone might know what they are giving him from the symptoms and what if anything he can do to alleviate them. He is nervous of asking and as anyone who has read my previous posts asking questions is not the way they do things here. Would be grateful for any input. in Spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Oh my, that chemo sounds awful. I had been with many different chemo patients while recieving my infusions. But never had anyone with this type of chemo and those symptoms. My heart goes to him. Hope someone here can answer those questions.
