Hi @Wren20,
Yes, had a severe skin rash from number 2 treatment. Had to stay on prednisone the whole way through. Started out like little bumps on arms and knees. Then turned a bit like eczcema, very dry and itchy. Apparently not very common. AC is (Doxorubican and cyclophosphomide) that could be spelled wrong. Often given before Taxol/Paclitaxel. Supraclav is the lymph nodes higher up on the chest, I manged to keep most of my eyelashes and eyebrows (not sure if the cold cap had anything to do with that). Eyelashes did go but not until about 4 weeks after chemo had finished. I had been out and had worn a lot of eye makeup that day, I hit it with some eye make up remover and that took them out. They did grow back really fast though.
XOXO
