Chemo side effects - advice appreciated

Hi,

This is Rachel posting. I've done 4 rounds of TCH and I got some side-effects from this round of chemo that aren't getting better.

I got red blotches on my cheeks for which my oncologist prescribed Clyndmicin. Now, the blotches have faded a little bit but now my skin is very tender and the area around my eyes looks wrinkled.

I also have almost constant stomach muscle spasms. I've tried taking extra Magnesium which sometimes helps. I do take a muscle relaxant at night which helps slow the spasms down so I can sleep. But, I can't take the muscle relaxant during the day as I need to be able to drive safely.

Any advice or experience anyone can share?

Thank you,

Rachel
