Best skin repair products for chemo and radiotherapy
A friend of mine bought me some Rich Glen Olive balm as part of a lovely Chemo care pack. My hands and nails held up so well during AC does dense and 12 rounds of taxol chemotherapy. I also used this undergoing radiotherapy to both breasts along with Moo Goo Soothing cream and my care team were amazed even with double dose of radio I had no burns no blisters and minimal redness.

Paclitaxel Delayed
I was supposed to have my 9th paclitaxel this morning but was cancelled because I have had significant increase in numbness in my hands and some pain in my thumb over the past week,(even after onc reduced last weeks dose by 10%) My feet seem fine at the moment. My regular onc was on leave so the one on duty made that decision and said that they will see how I am next week and decide what is next. I am quite disappointed as I was getting towards the end of the chemo and want to get it over and done with. On the other hand I didn’t want to say everything was ok as I had read on a few threads here of the lasting damage PN can do. Has anyone had a similar experience?640ViewsSign in to react to this post23Comments
