Hi All,

well Im now 6 weeks post treatment end and things are going well (Left tonsil Squamous Cell HP+) 30 rad treatments a 2 Chemo

Eating - have already regarined some taste mainly savory things and i am able to eat most things unless they are acidic or spicey so tomatos in any shape of form a no go 

Swallowing - obviously given above I am abale to swallow I still have a slight pain on the site of the cancer but it manageable 

pain meds - down to 10mg zomorph and 500mg parrots eat them all :-)

Taking 1 Fortisip in the morning and lunch and dinner is a sit down meal

Now for the lasting issues 

Mouth ulcers one or two, pain in the area of the tumor, Tiredness, Rapid sneezing !!!!! much more than ever before 

And the worst one Skin itching 

Site is like Hives very itchy, no reaction to oral antimistamines, 0.1 % Hydro cortisol making negiable different. Zero base no different drives me crackers 

Two phyical sites lower abdomen almost like I wearing red budgie smuglers from hip to hip belly button to just before genitals 

And around the keck line 

Has anyone else had this ??

Is it Morphine related ???

Thanks in advance to anyone who hears my plea for itch relief :-)

  • Had some issues with itching, abdomen and upper/lower back, I was told it was likely a reaction to morphine intake, was prescribed chlorphenamine to take nightly  and I bought Eurax anti-itch cream, the itching was very annoying....after coming off morphine the itching eventually disappeared.
