There was a study done at a university in Turkey about using henna for the side effects of Xeloda. I've posted my experience with it here at www.xelodasideeffects.blogspot.com

    Hi Monique. Thanks for the information. My husband took Xeloda before surgery re rectal cancer, with no hand-foot syndrome. He is now taking it again, for a longer term, along with Oxaliplatin. If he starts to have the hand-foot syndrome this time around, it's good to have something to try.
    Thanks a bunch,
    ~Melanie
