Hi all,
Has anyone else experienced a bad itchy rash after docetaxel? It came up a few days after the treatment -- on my head, neck, shoulders -- itchy red bumps. I still have it 10 days after treatment! I've been using nappy rash cream but it's not really doing the trick. Any suggestions?

My Doctor told me it was thrush. She gave me Canestan cream to put on it but I found Curash powder better. I had it under my remaining boob and in my groin. I couldnt wear nickers at all for about three weeks. Just got rid of it and it was time for the next round of docetaxel. It is one mean SOB. And I I had to have more than 3 lots i was going to refuse. Just nasty.I suggest you talk to your oncol nurses and get it sorted ASAP and it doesnt get better by it self.
Take care

thanks Leonie, will def ask about it, it's driving me bananas :-)
Hi Heather, No I must say this is not something that I have experienced. I do get a red "look" on my neck on the first day then it rises to part of my face the next day. Then it is gone. Seems like a bit of a reaction for you. Have you spoken to the oncology nurses? Our make-up is so individual and we all react differently but it is worth checking it out with the nurses. XLeonie
