Earlier this week, she told her 60,000 followers: “Down to opening bottles with my mouth due to hand and foot syndrome.”
Adele explained she was trying to avoid waking up her partner Kate to help her.
“Don’t want to wake up Kate at stupid o’clock to help me. One week to go and then I can start my final cycle of #chemotherapy. Cannot wait.”
‘A constant balance’
She explained that her hands and feet hurt from the effects of the treatment.
I actually couldn’t get my brain to work or function.
She typed: “It’s a constant balance of drinking, but also being brave enough to walk on my feet to the toilet.
“It even hurts my hands to use the flush and wash them. Nearly there!” she said.
Blistering and redness on the hands and feet is a side effect of some chemo drugs.
