Hi all
i am on my second regime of Eribulin. I did 7 cycles last year with a really good result so took a treatment break for approx. 5 months and restarted in December last year. I am due cycle 5 day 1 today. As I had the treatment before I knew what side effects to expect but have to say they have been different this time, less indegestion, thank goodness, but more tired and ulcers and a sore mouth in my week off.
I had some skin rashes last year after a few cycles which the Onc put down as a reaction to the drug, after cycle 1 this time round I had quite an extensive rash on my right leg and arm, it looked like blisters, almost like chicken pox, which cleared up after 4 or 5 days. A few spots after cycle 2 and 3 but not too many then after cycle 4 massive rash on both upper arms and both upper legs (right side again more extensive), not itchy but quite sore and again like blisters but dry not infected. It came on Day 17 and I think today is finally turning the corner and although it’s still there it’s not as sore as yesterday.
i know that skin rash is a side effect listed for Eribulin. I just wondered whether anyone else had experienced it?
best wishes
