Reactions after EC Chemo

Hi,

 

So my mum had her first chemo treatment last 8 days ago, she's responded well mostly, with a few small issues.

 

This evening she has a really sore rash on her stomach. I was just wondering, is it possible to show signs of an allergic reaction just over a week later? Or could it be a product, like shower gelnor laundry detergent, as I am aware your skin can become sensitive.

 

I start to think of the worst case whenever she has an issue.

 

Any advice would be great, thank you.

  • My partner did amazing first round and it was not till a week or so later that side effects etc happened and we switched to Johnson's baby everything basically but spoke with the nurses and they gave creams for rashes, spots, sores etc the best advice i can give is to give your mums nurse or team a call if anything worries you! You should have a number... they are literally always happy to give advice and talk to you about any concerns no matter how big or small xx

  • Thank you :)

     

    Mum put some of her Emollient cream on (I think she has skin problems anyway) but it seems to have calmed down.
