Interesting article. I wish more of those in the cancer-fighting industry would take skin side effects (like hand-foot syndrome) seriously, especially since more of us are on long-term treatments and may have to put up with them for years.
Skin Conditions Could Hinder Treatment in Cancer Patients, Negatively Impact Quality of Life - Valley News Live - KVLY/KXJB - Fargo/Grand Forks
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Nov., 1999. Surgery and radioactive iodine followed. In Dec., 2006, I found a lump in my neck that turned cancerous. Shortly thereafter, it was found to have metastasized throughout my body and to be untreatable and inoperable. I started a clinical trial with Sutent (sunitinib) since Apr., 2007. In Nov., 2013, the tumors began growing again and I was removed from the Sutent Clinical Trial. I started a clinical trial taking of CEDIRANIB on 04/09/14.
