Chemotherapy cheeks

Hello Amandas,

I had cisplatin and vinorelbine 12 years ago to prevent my lung cancer coming back (it's workrd so far fortunately).

I also had hot cheeks amongst other things. I also had all of the other side effects you mention on your profile. One thing to note which might help - for constipation I tried remedies from the chemists shop but they didn't work and I was in a right state. It was resolved when I was given treatment on prescription - perhaps worth bearing in mind?

I wish you all the best for the remained of treatment and success.

Derek.

Thank you very much for your reply much appreciated. Its unbelievable the side effects yhis chemotherapy gives. 

Im glad your now in good health. Brings hope and a smile to my face. 

Take care 

Yes! I always get it the morning after chemo (Carboplatin and paclitaxel) and sometimes the day after that. It usually subsides by the afternoon each day. It’s very weird isn’t it. 

Hi crystaltipps73f2a8

Yes it is strange incredibly hot too touch but no temperature. Its not as bad today but still visable. 

Thank you for replying means a lot to know others experience it too its things no one mentions  xx

Hi

i have this every time on Docetaxel. I tried anti histamines in case was allergic reaction but no change. It affects my neck too. Generally goes after about 6 days. I believe it is quite common 

hope that reassures a little

Thanks very much yes it is reassuring to know this affects others. Its scarey when its happening to you. It affected my neck and chest aswell last time. Thankfully its fading now. Side effects have been veey tough if im honest.
