Urticaria after chemo
Hi All
I finished my fourth (and final) chemo on 19th November. All going ok until 8 days after and I broke out in the most painful and itchy rash. Oncologist told me it was a food allergy and to take Telfast. I ended up at GP the following day who did a blood test for me and started me on Prednisone plus asked me to double dose Telfast. Saw GP yesterday, bloodwork all good, still have the rash, not quite as bad. He told me he believes it's urticaria caused by chemo. Just wanting to find out if any others have had this same thing happen and how you controlled it/how long it lasted?
