Hand and
Foot Syndrome (Desquamative Syndrome)
Certain oral and
infusion chemotherapy drugs can affect the skin on the hands and feet
(Hand Foot Syndrome or Desquamative Syndrome). This side effect can be
severe enough to discontinue therapy. Some
people using these chemotherapy drugs are finding relief from using
Udderly Smooth on their hands and feet’

Feedback from Udderly Smooth users...
“Started using Udderly
smooth after searching for an excellent skin cream, because I am having
radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Udderly Smooth is just the ticket, as my
skin is sensitive in the best of times, and my friend recommended it, as
the use it in the states for patients. We need to get this on the NHS
as a first choice of creams to be used. Please please!!! Works a
treat!! Needs to be made readily available on the open market.
Thank you so much. M from Hampshire.”

“I had breast cancer a couple of years ago and wear a prosthesis as a
result. The prosthesis makes my scar very sore, and as you're not
allowed to wear deodorants on or around the area of the prosthesis as it
can damage the "skin", I thought I was out of luck. A friend in the
support group recommended Udderly Smooth to soothe and prevent
irritation, so, doubting it, I tried some. I was so impressed! It took
away perhaps 95% of the irritation and it continues to improve all the
time! Love it! Other emollients and moisturisers did nothing - Udderly
Smooth does the trick!”
-------------------------------------
"I would just like to say "thank
you" for such a wonderful cream. I have just started chemotherapy
for the third time and this didn't exist on my previous occasions.
I read about it on a cancer web site so sent off for it myself
from Quilt Direct. It has helped me so much with my sore fingers,
face and feet which are the main side effects from my treatment.
I have mentioned it to other
cancer suffers and also nurses, but as you understand its very hard
to get the hospitals onboard!
I wondered if I could have some
literature and a few samples to pass onto other cancers sufferers
and show my oncologist when I go next for my pre chemo. Also rather
than give you my local pharmacist name I would like to pop in and
show them the results with some literature.
Thank you once again. Not only a
fantastic product, but a great talking point!"

“I have just finished Chemotherapy and bought your unscented cream
on recommendation. My cancer clinical nurse specialist was very
interested in it and I said I thought you sent out trial size
samples…”

Udderly Smooth was recommended to me by my oncologist and I have
continued to use it throughout my radiation for breast cancer. It
has minimized the burning so much so that the radiologist is
impressed. She wanted me to use greasy products which I did try,
but immediately went back to my Udderly Smooth. I live in San
Francisco and have just e-mailed your web page for the UK to my
friend in London so he can get it for his wife who is going through
radiation treatment. I’m so excited about this wonderful cream, I’m
ready to give up my day job and become a distributor. It works so
well and is very reasonably priced - a perfect combination that
warms the cockles of my Scottish heart.
