Hi I'm asking if anyone else has had this issue? I have only had one cycle of treatment for breast cancer and the skin on my face has appeared to have dropped. I have creases/wrinkles around my mouth that wasn't there two weeks ago! It's as though I've aged 5yrs in two weeks. Is this normal and will it get worse. Will it return to normal after treatment? I know its a big ask sorry xx
Hi Vfox and welcome to the Online Community but I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and challenges but I do hope you will find lots of comfort and support here on the Online Community.
I have been on my blood cancer journey for a long time and indeed my skin has been effected but every treatment can be different.
