various chemo treatments can actually affect the texture of your skin. How much you're drinking may not have anything to do the skin. I have a few things I tell my patients to help with this sort of thing.
However, if you have any problems with blood sugars or neuropathy(pins and needles, loss of feeling) you should be checked out by your Hematologist or GP first.
Consider trying lotions such as Keri, Gold Bond, etc regularly and see what happens. These are available over the counter and if they don't work there are prescription creams your doctor could order theat might.
Your local pharmacist may also have some recommendation. Aveeno products with colloidal oatmeal can help deal with itchy skin. Half a packet in a basin of warm water and soaking your feet a couple of times a week.

Hello everybody,
I have a sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and couple months ago it spreaded to her lung. Since then we have been devistated and she was given 18-24 months to live. Since then I have been trying to find other options beside the conventinal therapies. I met a person who was in almost the same situation as my sister and he was sent home when his mouth cancer spreaded into his lungs with no therapy options and he was only given 2 months to live three years ago, and he found a doctor in India and has been treated him with ayurveda treatment(mineral) and he has been alive last 3 years and his seven tumors got shrunk almost nothing left. As soon as my sister's chemo threatment ends she will be visiting that doctor in India. And when I checked that doctor online at www.lifepositive.com I found out that he cured leukemia,and since I am registered with caring voice I wanted to share that information with you guys.
I hope the best for all of you and will be praying for everyone of you.
Regards,
Shenia
