I am 9 weeks out after my last chemo and I still have this horrible rash. I can't take it any more! The rash started after my 3rd chemo and came back again after my 4th chemo. Essentially, the rash has been here since before Easter. So I have had this rash for over 3 months and no one seems to know why. I am so frustrated. I really can't take it any more.
I have been on steroids and have tried numerous creams and lotions. Nothing makes it stay away. I itch all the time. My chest and neck are flaming red and looks like I have a bad sunburn with some bumps. I also get it on my arms and torso. It seems to get better with the treatments but once I get relief and the treatment stops, the rash and uncontrollable itching come raging back.
I woke up at 3am last night again itching out of control. I sat on the edge of the bed and just sobbed. I just want someone to help me. I have been like this for 3 months. I literally feel like I am going to go crazy from this.
My medical oncologist seems to wipe her hands of it. She says it's not from chemo. She offers no suggestions and just moves on to the next thing she wants to talk about. The internist is stumped and offered steroids so I could get relief and referred me to a dermatologist. I have been to the dermatologist three times and they don't know what is causing it. They thought it was the chemo but now they are convinced it is something else I am still being exposed to. Now they want me to stop all vitamins/supplements in case it is related to that. Ugh!
I just want relief. I can't take this anymore......I never thought 9 weeks after chemo I would still be dealing with crap like this. I am just spent. I am sick of being uncomfortable.
