So much has happened over the last few months. My oncologist referred me to the dermatology department to see if they can get to the bottom of my (still) itchy problem. After a couple of appointment including a punch biopsy, they have decided that it isn't a skin problem at all, but a vascular one. So I'm still using emollients and occasionally steroid cream, but also wearing flight socks and doing toe walking, foot and ankle stretches too. So where do I go from here? I have another appointment in August and also have to see my respiratory consultant in June. I don't see my oncologist until September by which time I HOPE I have some kind of treatment plan set up, so she can finally sign me off. Oh yes, I'm back on Anastrazole again.
