Hello,

I've been on two weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for tonsil cancer The steroids have increased my weight and what I think is a large heat rash is around my trouser waist and inner thigh. It sooths with e45, is not itchy, but seems sudden. I'm getting it looked at today.

Also chemotherapy and insomnia? Common? No bad anxiety, just awake?

Hi Steve. It’s the steroids they give you. It wears off.

Hi Steve The insomnia is the steroids that you are given pre and post chemotherapy. The rash can’t say as I didn’t get one.
hope they sortyou out.
