Removal of Grade 3 tumour and now first round of chemo

Hi there. Does your array of meds include steroids? Those make my face and neck flush like crazy, during the three days I take them and for about 2 days after. It eases off after that however. Might be worth a quick call to your Breast Cancer Nurse if you’re still concerned.

Hi Scaredbutpositive

if you are on steroids to help prevent side effect that is more than likely causing the redness in your face. When I was having chemo I had to take steroids for three days afterwards and my face neck and chest turned red while I was taking them and for a couple of days afterwards. I got my Onology team to prescribe me an antihistamine which helped with the hot flushes.

Best of luck for the rest of your treatment.
