Just going through my 3rd chemo, how do you cope with the itching any help will be greatly received thanks

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about the challenges you are having with your chemo..

    It is always good to talk with others who are on the same type of chemo. You don’t say what type of cancer you have but if you care to have a look through this list  you will find all our many dedicated cancer support groups listed.

    If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green link I have created above. Then once you find the group for your type of cancer join the group by clicking on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.

    The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. You may also find our Ask an Expert section helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.

    Talking to people face to face can be very helpful but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre in your area as these folks are amazing.

    Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.

    All the very best.
