Bilirubin up and Fire Hazard

Start of my 6th course today. Feeling ok but Fridays blood test shows an increase in the Bilirubin enzyme in my liver. If it gets much higher it'll indicate that the chemo is causing liver damage and I'll have to stop chemo. I guess that's the end of my odd glass of sherry. Although my palms and foot soles are much better they're still peeling - to the point that I have to clear bits off the bed each morning (not sure if I should put them in the compost?) Not sure I can ever eat Parmesan shavings again.

So I got prescribed some wickedly fat cream for my hands and feet - a million times greasier than E45. The pharmacists have to talk you through your medication so she had to warn that, once loaded up, I would be a walking fire hazard because the cream's made from paraffin. I must keep away from cigarettes and chip pans!
