My husband has recently started his chemotherapy and recently been put on morphine for his pain but noticed the other day he has a rash across the bottom off his back he says it nothing to worry bout as its not giving him any problems and won't get it checked but its worrying me and he can't see that feel like am banging my head of a brick wall
I'm sorry to hear about your husband and his rash he could be perfectly correct in saying that its nothing to worry about as it's not causing him a problem but he should be aware that we all react differently to treatment and any symptoms should be notified to his team as soon as possible for their opinion he may be right and there is nothing for him to worry about but he may need another small addition to his medication to combat this.
If he won't mention it can you not have a word with someone and put your mind to rest
