Hi,
I have recently joined this wonderful forum and have already had some great advice re my fears /anxieties. I have a grade 3 stage 2 weakly er 3/8 and Pr 5/8 Hert2 negative cancer which I had masectomy for back in March. Due to the size (3cm) I had auxiliary clearance at the same time and the path showed 1/26 that was microscopicaly involved. Fast forward and I began my first cycle of fec-t yesterday. I have been ok apart from some slight nausea last night. I am quite concerned about how red my face has become and neck and chest to a lesser degree. I have also had some pulpitations too. No high temp and feel good /well in myself. I mentioned it to my nurse who changed my picc line dressing today and she thought it might be the steroid tablets and to call the oncologists tomorrow. She didn’t seem concerned or overly surprised by this. Should I be? Has anyone else had this kind of reaction from the steroid. I’m mostly worried as these become more necessary when I switch to the docetaxel. Ironically to stop allergic reaction!!
