AC chemotherapy side effects - flushed cheeks

Hello, yes I am afraid flushed cheeks is not an uncommon side effect of some chemo regimes. I had 12 weeks of Paclitaxol and every time, exactly on day 2 after the infusion I too had flushed cheeks. Good news is it should disappear in a day or two. Take care and good luck with your treatment x

Thank you so much for your reply, Sassy68! It's really good to talk with people having the same experince! All the best to you too! xx 

Flushed cheeks are often due to steroids. It does settle quickly usually x

Thank you so much for your message, zephyr! I noticed that my treatment plan is almost the same as yours... Fingers crossed everything goes well! x 

Hi Lana

on the EC and the paclitaxel I had very red cheeks but no temperature , I used Jennifer Young defiant beauty cool and refresh spray also I put my face moisturiser cream in fridge to cool  it off found it helped . 

Thank you, Janey! I'll definitely try the fridge. 

Best wishes,
