Hi all, another problem that has reared it’s ugly little head! Just another one to add to the list that have become part of everyday life since this bloody breast cancer was diagnosed, I was very healthy until it happened! Last Sunday 7th I started with a tiny patch of redness on my throat. Now I have blistering skin that hurts like the worse sunburn on my arms, chest, tummy and over my hips creeping onto my back! Seen a nurse parctioner x2 and a GP today 12th. He says it is an allergic reaction to one of the drugs I am on! No S*** Sherlock! I am on Zoladex (every 28 days) had it again on Weds 10th, 1200mg daily Gabapentine for pain caused by nerve damage (I had left M, 14 nodes clrd, imm.recon with Lat Dorsi & Implant Feb 06). Temazapam for sleeping when I need it. He has told me to stop immediatley taking the Gaba. I am worried about this as when I tried to come off it in the summer the GP and my ONC said it has to be withdrawn really slowly, but now this GP says I must stop straight away! Anyone else been in this situ? I am going to stop the Gaba. as I cannot stand the pain from the blistering and swelling, alsoV.worrying on my left arm! One thing after another.
Sometimes I really wish the BC hadn’t been found. I was healthy until the op and all the drugs. Like they say what you dont know can’t hurt you. To make it all worse I am booked to have my recon made smaller, just a smaller implant, Thur 18th Oct. I have been badgering for that since the M. as it has always been too big and finally got my surg to agree it wasn’t swelling causing the imbalance anymore! Then my ovaries out on 4th Dec so if this resize op gets called off it will be into the New Year before he can resize it. I am so p’d off you wouldn’t believe. Sorry.
