Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi Folks, My chemo consists of calcium, magnesium, rytril, decadron, avastin, oxiplatin, and Xeloda. My most resent problem since infusion 3 is my heels feel like I'm walking on boken glass. They look fine but hurt with the slightest pressure. Has anyone got more experience with this and can tell me what to try and how long it will last? Thanks for all imputs. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Len, I am sorry you are having the sore heals. Everyone reacts differently so it is hard to predict these things. I don't have any answers for you but make sure you tell you onc. Hope it gets better soon. I can imagine it must be most difficult to walk. I feel for you.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Deb, Thanks for the info but it's really bad that it lasts so long. I may have to get a wheel chair.
