Re: Skin problems
Yes, I had skin problems on Taxotere- from second treatment. Just overnight developed horrible looking pimples all over my face! I thought great, I have coped with the hair falling out, now I'm going to look absolutely awful.
The cancer nurse was great, immediately contacted pharmacy and they prescribed me with a antihistamine tablets- sorry can't remember what they were called it was a while back now. They did the job within a couple of days all spots were gone! A kind of allergic reaction to treatment - apparently it is quite common.
Hope all goes well
