Hi everyone.
I started Taxol Gemcitabine regime last week and have felt really weird and not in control of my body since. I take 8mg of steroids every day and have halved these to see if it part of the problem. I had my day 8 Gemcitabine on Friday and got the most horrendous acne like rash on my face, neck and back (it had been slightly there for a couple of days previously).
Has anyone else had this happen to them. Spoke to Chemo hotline who weren’t sure so went to out-of0hours dr and saw a nurse and said she wasn’t sure. Gave me an antihisamine and it did settle till about 5pm yest.
I feel a bit alone and no one seems to be helping me. I don’t know whether its an allergic reaction to the chemo.
Do steroids make everything happen quickly as maybe I am having a reaction to them as everything is fast pace like I am drugged as on a high, have no control of any of my senses, no feel to pain, my fingers are numb tothe first joint and tha happened 2 days after the chemo!! Something weird is going on and I have no one to talk to. I am really scared as I don’t know if its the effect of chemo or steroids!
If anyone knows of anyone I can talk to or has any of these symptoms I would love to hear from you. Its not me in my skin.
Hope this makes sense. I feel like I am going mad, loads of things at once and no control of life!
