Sux huh @Kmakm. Did you get hold of that cold towel? If you wet it and put it in the freezer for a minute or so it goes ice cold. I lay it accross my back with the fan on when I go to bed. The fan keeps cooling the top of it so you can turn it over the next time you heat up and it will be cold again. If I get a bad one I wrap a bit of ice in it and put it around my neck. It really does take the wind of the flush.
I also used to keep a can of dove deodorant next to the bed and spray my back and chest as soon as I felt it coming. Stops that ghastly sweaty feeling.
Different drug I know, but mine lost their nuclear power after about 10 months on the drug so 17 months all up from when they started on chemo. This was after my second break though and I do believe that's what helped it mostly. They are still there when I am on it but nowhere near what they were or as many.
The joys huh?
