Can chemo for prostate cancer cause the yellowing of the hands only?

I did ask this here
http://www.caring.com/questions/can-chemo-cause-yellow-skin-or-eyes
Just wondering if the yellowing of my hand is also like cancer.

Any advice.

As the article says, the yellow is likely from bile buildup. This probably means the liver is not keeping up with the chemo, not that the cancer is spreading.
