Hi folks
Have weekly 12 weekly taxols, number 9 yesterday. Day later my face usually flushes but today my cheeks are really burning and so red. Don´t want to go to ER on a Saturday (would be sod´s law that I picked up Coronovirus)!!! Any tips, are antihistamines from chemist a possibility?? Thanks. Snapper
I had to take antihistamines after each session, and 2 after the latter ones, Ok'd by the hospital.
Thanks Londonmumof2
I only receive antihistamines through the vein before the chemo. Chemist won´t sell me any. Will call hospital if it gets worse.
Take care, thanks again
