Hi 

I just finished my second round of Docetaxel, last time was very painful, my Oncologist reduced the med and increased steroid, I also had a blood transfusion. Last 2 days I find a sort of soreness and rash looking at both sides base of my neck,  can any one tell me what this might be due to if its related at all. Should I worry about this?

  • Hi

    Give your BCN a call just to be on the safe side, it may be nothing but with these lovely drugs better to be safe than sorry.  It may just need some further drugs to resolve, my body was almost 100% thrush at times during chemo so anything is possible.  All thrush related issues resolved with appropriate medication.

    Good luck
