@noosa_blue150 How is it going? Does the cream work. My head has now started itching.
Last night: Scalp itches. Don't scratch, don't scratch' don't scratch, arrrrgh, scratch scratch scratch. ETC, ETC, ETC. Finally I gritted my teeth and stopped scratching. Fifteen minutes later the itch subsided enough to get drowsy and sleep. That was a hard fifteen minutes.
@arpie I tried the cornflour on my body and it helped although I did have to explain to the nurse why I had all these white bits on me lol.
I just read that applying apple cider vinegar helps so I will try that before bed tonight. Will let you know how I go.
Why does this targetted therapy have ongoing side effects? During chemo the side effects would last a week then continue to subside until the next treatment. These side effects just keep on giving for the full three weeks between treatments.
