Hi! I did the TCH also and found that for tons of reasons that I needed to drink oceans of water beginning the day I did treatment for about 5 - 7 days. Solved lots of problems and decreased all the side effects. I'd be curious to know if the steroids could impact your skin. It didn't mine, but we are all so very different. This will be an interesting adventure to discover the culprit. Best wishes for a better next treatment. Just so it kills those goofy cancer cells!!!!! Most important! ma
