Hi there. Posting from a sunny but rainy Glasgow…
i’m basically looking to find out if anyone else has had an horrendous itch with Phesgo? I began paclitaxal and Phesgo just over a year ago (September). My oncologist stopped my Phesgo jabs two short from the end - mid July to see if it might help ease the itch. Unfortunately its still fierce on my arms, neck and shoulders. Does anyone have any experience of this itch and also any idea how long it might last? My oncologist seems baffled by the itch full stop. Antihistamines early doors made no difference. I’m currently taking pregabalin and think it’s taken the edge off it.
thanks! Karen
