Re: First chemo treatment

I'm so sorry this is hitting you so fast and so badly, have you asked your Onc or chemo nurse for something re the face rash and other issue's? I didn't have this but know they prefer you to call and tell them whats happening so they can help you, no point in suffering so do ask them about it and they may lower your dose next time or give it more slowly which may help.
