For those of you who have not heard from me lately , this is why. I have been reacting to the Taxol for the past few weeks. I am getting a rash on my arms that makes the skin pop open and bleed. It is itchy too. Mostly though, the reaction fires all my nerves and makes every nerve ending feel like I am on fire. I feel as if I poured gasoline on myself and lit a match. When the reaction subsides a bit, I am so tired from pain that all I can do is go to bed.
So far the doctors have not figured out what is happening and they have no idea what to do to stop it. I am using Tea Tree Oil and a prescription cream for Eczema that are helping a bit. I think the problem is my immune system is just overwhelmed and I am paying the price in allergies and exhaustion.
Do any of you cancer patients have any help for me? Have you had this rash? If so, how did they treat you? You can send me a message at taraleed@live.com
Have a great day-
Tara
