Hi everyone. I am only two weeks into chemo and so far no big issues. I know we are supposed to report things but can anyone tell me if I would need to report a very red spot on my cheek which has now got a head on it. I’m 61 so I’m not prone to spots . Would this be classed as an infection to report ? Know sounds daft but I’m worried about infection.
Hi. I would talk to your nurse team. They are always willing to discuss any worries with you. I had a mark on my breast. I called them and they asked me to send a photo. They were not worried but took a look when I next went in for chemo. They are there to help and if you have a worry, I would say defo check it out
