itching a month after my last hl treatment

Hi Benjamin,

sorry you’ve had to cope with so much treatment. And still facing more.... I suspect if your HL began with the itch then you’re very aware of it; but sometimes more treatment can mimic this too. I would maybe query this with your specialist nurse (I’m assuming even in China you still have allocated nurses?) as if they think it’s significant they can maybe get you seen in clinic earlier rather than later.

sometimes HL can be very obstinate (our daughters was) but with the right interventions (and there are many more than in the years she was treated) it can still be sent into remission.

Hi moomy,

  Thanks for your advice,it comforts me a lot,and my itching gets lighter these days,I hope it's just from the treatments.Anyway I will go get my rountinely scan next month.

  And my respect to your daughter,she has the courage to fight againt her misfortunes that long,she's a warrior.It's now Chinese year,and I want to send her my best Chinese wishes:

永远健康

stay healthy forever.

Thank you for your best Chinese wishes, Benjamin! That means a lot!

so glad the itching is easing; sometimes chemo upsets the skin levels of regenerating cells and that may be why itching reoccurs during and after treatment. Chemo is very ‘drying’ too, so a gentle moisturiser may help.
