Off of Sutent Early This Cycle

I forgot to post that I was taken off Sutent on August 27.  This is a week early for that cycle.  The side effects, especially the Hand-Foot Syndrome, were just killing me.  The Hand-Foot got to stage 3.  

I hope it will be easier the next cycle which starts on September 17.

I'm looking for various things that may help and I'll post what I find on this blog.

DMSO is also suggested as a treatment, but I'm concerned about how to find a safe supply.  I'm not comfortable with the idea of using an industrial lubricant on my feet without some sort of medical oversite.

Xyfid is still moving along in the approval process.  I hope it is OKed soon!
