Dear Tricia,

Itching is horrible. I'd rather be in pain. I have pretty bad allergies and intolerances, so I was wondering if you could have developed an allergy for one or more of the additives or other compounds of the chemo regimens you tried. Have they tried to give you an antihistamine? Although that wouldn't work for intolerances. The chemo's might work if the other substances were removed from the mix.

Love

Jacqueline
