    A good hand lotion and warm
    A good hand lotion and warm water is what I use. When I make breakfast and dinner for the wife and I, my hands burn. I now use the "Ove Glove" to get stuff out of the fridge. Then run my hands under the warm water.

    We have a Beagle/Chihuahua better know has our Behuahua. It hurts to clap my hands to call the dog back. She is part beagle and still needs to be worked. Our Behuahua also keeps me going. No matter how bad I feel I got to walk and run her. She is a real blessing.

    The nueropathy is just part of the weirdness of cancer, and now part of our lives. If it gets bad contact your doctor. This forum is also a good source of what is normal neuropathy.

    Best Always! mike

    My husband goes for his 6th
    My husband goes for his 6th treatment tomorrow with folfox and the neuropathy is really bothering him. He finds that warming his hands with those special rice bags that you microwave for two minutes really helps soothe the pain. You'll get lots of good tips and encouragement on the boards here. Hang in there.
