Evening everyone
My husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in february he started radiation almost immediately which went well and finished almost 3 weeks ago
He is now on the first 4 weekly treatment of VDT which thankfully is going well with little side effects
My question is he now has a very itchy red square from the radiation despite being on medication to suppress any itching
Has anyone experienced this square being itchy and could advise as to anything I can do to help ease it a bit or is this something we need to get checked
Many thanks
Hi Kagg1102,
Welcome to the forum although I am sorry to read about your husband. I don’t have any experience of radiotherapy but thought I would reply to bump this thread to the top so that it has more chance of being seen by someone who might have some experience.
I hope things are better for your husband now and I hope the VDT treatment continues to go well with minimal side effects.
Greg
Thank you for your reply
He had to be admitted in the end as I was getting worse but well on the mend now thanks
