    i am 2.5 years out of treatment for tongue cancer and six months prior to diagnosis suffered with really bad itching....initially it was my feet and hands, but it ended up everywhere

    even though I am now post treatment I still get episodes of it, not as often or severe

    mine is easily kept at bay by citirizine it's an anti histamine which you will get free from you doctor

    although they is no such study, doctors are aware that there is a link between itching and cancer, but just don't know why
