Red Cheeks

Hi Everybody

It is lovely to fine a forum that is so positive.  I started Chemo on 9 November so this is my second day after my first EC treatment.  Yesterday I felt rough but only sick once.  Today I have woken up with rosy cheeks.  My face is not hot and apart from that I feel well.  Has anybody else experienced this?

Hi Nadine,

oh yes, I light up like a Red traffic light, nose and cheeks!  It’s probably the steroids, that is what does it for me and it calms for me after the first three days once the steroids stop.  Do keep an eye on your temperature of course, and contact your team if you have any concerns.  But if temp is normal and you feel well in yourself the flushing should calm soon.

All the best,

Oh, yes I looked like one of those large beef tomatoes especially as my hair had all fallen out - it settled down eventually.
