Hi, has been confirmed that this is shingles. Very painful.

If it is painful and one side of body only it could be shingles. Contact your care team and discuss it check with GP asap. Kath x

Hi Michelle I had my 1st AC on the 19th May & up to now no rash, i seem to get a lot of heartburn & indigestion with tiredness but all in all not as bad as I was expecting.
I would definitely mention your rash as they might be able to give you something for it before your next cycle.

I am due for my 4th AC chemo next Wednesday. I haven't had any rash or blisters, but that is just my personal experience so far.
I hope your side effects continue to be kind to you.

It may well be, but I would still get it checked out as your immune system will be compromised.
we all have different reactions to our chemo and I didn't have any rash with mine but maybe someone else did.
hope the rest of your treatment is kind.
