My bloody face is red and itches real bad. I used moisturizing lotion and my face itched worse. This bloody new chemotherapy has a bad side effect of rash. Mainly on the face. The one good thing about this bloody treatment is that my oncologist said that the rash actually means it is working. I hope that is true. This itching is irritating. 😾
Have a nice day, everyone. 😹

Chemotherapy, from what I've heard, sucks. It's a race to kill the cancer before you kill the patient. Lovely.
My girlfriend has terrible skin sensitivities and almost anything will give her a rash. Lately she's been on accutane, and keeps about three different types of lotion on hand everywhere she goes to keep her face, lips, and arms moisturized so they don't crack and peel. She's found her lip split and bleeding a number of times.
Not as bad as chemo, but annoying nonetheless.

My second oldest daughter is going through chemo. Yah, it sucks semprinis. Nothing nice about it, really. It's literally burning out the cancer cells using radiation. And you get no superpowers at the end of it.

I think you are correct, but you will have to ask my youngest daughter about that. She just graduated the radiology tech course yesterday. I do know that both methods have the same objective: to burn out the cancer cells with radiation. Chemo is more generalized than radiation therapy. And thus ends my knowledge of the subject.

I feel so loved. 😻 They are different things. Chemotherapy uses very powerful drugs and fights cancer throughout the body and radiation therapy uses radiation for pin point precise attacks on cancer cells. At one point my oncologist was considering using both. Now she is not.

I'm no good at comforting people. You think I would be an expert by now, with all the condolences I've gotten.
All I can do is congratulate you on your strength. Cancer isn't easy to deal with, and the only choice is to trudge through the trail of knee deep mud that is chemotherapy. I have nothing but respect for people who do, even if it's not a choice they want to make.
To be on chemotherapy is a strength and love for one's family and friends. Keep on trudging on my friend. I have you in my prayers, even if prayer is or isn't something you believe in.

The mRNA technology the Covid vaccines are made with was developed for fighting cancer. I hope there are better treatments in the future. I hope and pray you'll get well!

Thanks everyone. Your comments of support and prayers are greatly appreciated. Ten years ago, I was in a very deep and dark place. Had I gotten cancer back then, I would have ended it right there. However, events in my life for the past ten years has gotten me to a point where I am full of joy and peace in spite of my circumstances.

You, and all with health issues, have my condolences. I wish that I had a magic wand as if such a thing existed.

I just found out the other day that one of my uncles lost his girlfriend to cancer. She was good for him as she was getting him straightened around. I never met her nor talked to her. I have not talked to him in years due to his mannerisms. I had heard that he has changed a lot.
