  • Hi Elsie, 

    I'm sorry that your sister is having to contend with this at the moment but I'm glad she's got some creams from the doctor to help.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had a similar issue during their chemo will share their tips and advice but do feel free to get in touch with our cancer nurses about this as well. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    I hope you're able to find something to help ease your sister's discomfort soon.

    All the best, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
