Hi, .I now this sounds feeble but its driving me up the wall.
I am on 5 cmf and have just developed intensley itchy feet and hands at night, last night was so bad… Hubby moved out, i was like a dying fly… legs in the air scratching away at feet.
all ok in the day … any suggestions to the casue , it is the chemo.?
I had taxotere and had dreadfully itchy skin, I was given Zantac and when that didn’t work Atarax - mind you it can make you a bit sleepy though. It did help with the itching so I used to take it before having tax and then about a week after, until the next round.
I had terrible itching somewhere very awkward - all around the perineum. the chemo nurse said to try an antihistamine and it worked wonders. May be worth trying but check with your unit first?
