Hi
After weeks of building myself up to my first chemo session (epirubicin) I thought I had got away scott free, no sickness or tiredness, have led my normal life for 2 weeks. Unfortunately last Thursday, 9 days after chemo, a rash that had appeared on my hand broke out into what could only be described as a burn. I was referred to the plastics dept of another hospital and am now on antibiotics with the threat of a skin graft in the future.
The staff in the oncology department did not know how to deal with me, which instilled me full of confidence (not) so it is obviously not a common problem.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, if so how was it dealt with and how is the hand now?
Hope to hear of at least ONE other person so I know I am not an alien!!
BTW, would anyone else’s husband take them to see the Bucket List a week after their first chemo?? lol
