Acne after Chemo
Hi,
I am 36 and was diagnosed with Triple negative, stage 2 breast cancer in Dec 2011. I have had a lumpectomy and had my first chemo Taxotere & Cyclo on Fri 27th Jan. About a week after I started ...
Hi jjmum, I'm on the same treatment as you, have just had the 3rd of 4 treatments. I too got spots after the first treatment but you might be pleased to know that it didn't happen with the second treatment, and just a little with the third. In fact, strangely, I think my skin seems to be looking generally quite good, everyone said how dry it would get but I haven't noticed.
I do look after it more now though, lots more thorough cleansing, and if you go to a Look Good Feel Better workshop (are they offered at your hospital?) they really push looking after your skin, was a good lesson for me who previously didn't care too much.
Good luck with the rest of the treatments.
Julie
