Hi All,
My dad had his last chemo session on 15 November.
There was an issue when administering it and it ended up going under the skin instead of the vein.
The medical team acted quickly but he still has a dark red rash under the skin that isn’t getting better.
we have heard from the nurse this can rot the flesh and cause the need for a skin graft.
He was on Flucloxacillin (antibiotics 500mg 4 x per day)
has anyone else experienced this, any tips and what was the outcome.
thanks xx
Hi CCG sorry to hear this....... I have had a lot of chemo and antibiotics over my years of treatment and on a few occasions this happend to me.... I had some swelling and redness but 9 years on from my last treatment I have no lasting effects.
I hope that your dad will be fine.
Oh this is a while back....... but it took a good 2-3 weeks.
