I have been on walgreens advanced therapy dry skin treatment now for a week before the treatment I had gotten sores starting on my thumb crease's and being a dibetic that scared me. I got this and apply it 3 times a day to my hands at once to my feet at night wearing socks to bed and today I am sore free my hands look like they did before chemo and my feet do also no more pain in either so for me this stuff is great will use it even after the chemo is done love it. We go through so much suffering when we are in treatment it is so nice to be able to report something positive for a change . I have learned so much during my battle with cc and it has opened my eyes to a new outlook on life. The little things just don't bother me anymore and I love the new me. I hope everyone here has a great holiday and gets to be with family and friends as for me I am going to enjoy every moment I get to spend with my family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

    It's worth a try
    I have been having trouble from the Erbitux for a few years now. It stinks because now it's spreading to my left hand which I use more than my right for guitar.

    worth a try
    hey anything is worth a try and who knows it may even work have you talked to your onc about it and if so what does he say to do . I have ask mine and he recomended this stuff and it did work for me in your case you look like you have alot to heal and it may take longer but if you apply it several times a day and wear gloves if you can it will work faster good luck and let me know how you are doing.
