Laurie, I do know that Ed has had allegies that he never had before chemo. Whether this is from the chemo, the lack of normal amounts of nose hairs or getting older, I am not sure. He has been having a tough year so far with them and we are sure this one issue is really allergies. A large part of me does know that since getting this disease, Ed's allergies have started, have become worse, and there are more of them. He was never sick before cancer and that includes allergies. I cannot speak of medication allergies since he was never even on an antibiotic before cancer.

What I am sure of for me is that the last couple of years the amount of pollen and such has been steadily increasing. My allegies get to the point of no return if I do not keep up with them. I am certain that this cannot help any of you who have had issues since diagnosis but must add to your problems. I am a person who can take very few medications because I am a super sensitive patient to prescibe medication to. Evey time I have to take a medication I cringe because I am so paranoid to be sick. That goes for medicine I have already tried. I always joke with my parents about the fact that they never had to worry about me becoming an addict, I am a lightweight to this day.

Thanks for this post because great research gets done for different reasons and sometimes it is as simple as documenting it for others to see and take to the limits.

You are not nuts Laurie and even if you are, we will keep it between us. Try to look at those allegies and see if there is any common denominator. I do not think my post will help but I felt the need to speak with you about it.>>Believe51
