Melclarity, my oncologist at first did not think it's the chemo drugs since it was already day 8, he was asking me about the food and supplements I was taking. I was only having Vit D and my probiotics. But he was also saying usually it's the Taxocete that's the harsh one when I saw him for the rash. Two days later, I wrote to him showing him the rash photos and what my friend (who worked in allergy clinic before) concluded. Then I guess he probably accepted it was the Taxocete.
So true, even though I had cancer I did not feel sick but chemo really makes me feel sicker.
Zoffiel, the Claratyne and Phenergan which I took that night and following days did not stop the rashes from getting worse. So that was when my friend concluded it was not food or environmental allergens causing my trouble. I have never ever get any skin issues all my life and it must be this chemo treatment causing it. Chemo was wrecked my system so much even as I type now, my left eye underskin is twitching! And my I can't even seem to coordinate typing too! I know I will get better and I am so thankful that so far I am still good.
With chemo 1 and 2, I did not have issues. I am concerned I will run into further trouble with chemo 4. I have just written to my onco to ask what he can suggest if I were to finish the last one.
