Ive joined this group because of my husband...im actually recently finished treatment for anal cancer and found my support group so helpful that I am reaching out for some help/advise for him.
He had his kidney removed in may, some cancerous cells had got into the fatty tissue around it so he has been put on immunotherapy for one year...he had first session 4 wks ago. He is having a really bad time with the reaction to his skin...like a rash incredibly itchy and skin actually breaking in some areas. He haz done everything advised, antihistamines..E45, eurax cream, baths in avenue or bicarb if soda...nothing is really helping. It's affecting his everyday life and his sleep which obviously has ongoing effects.
Just wondered if anyone could share anything they found really helped...just worried he may decide to stop treatment as he has already said he can't cope with a year of this
Thankyou for taking the time to read this

Trace honestly I don’t know if it’s going to help but I was having that itchy skin droveme potty ended up sometimes inflicting deep scratches to myself then I used a cream with Aloe Vera in it, it’s a green coloured bottle available in most supermarkets but unfortunately I can’t remember the name (must be age thing), see if that works for Ady, hope it does
