Hello everyone,
i was diagnosed with linitis plastica on 3rd Feb, stage 3 with no spread so I am on a curative pathway if everything goes my way. i have had my 3rd session of flot and am suffering from a very red face, although it isn't too sore , just looks very unsightly and red sore hands over my knuckles and by my thumb. i have tried E45 cream and Sudocreme so far but they have not touched it. Has anyone else had this and tried a cream that has worked. Thank you so much for reading this. Take care everyone. Sue
Hi, sorry to hear you are experiencing side effects on your hands and face, I only had redness on my torso like dots, which eventually disappeared after a couple of months of my last chemo, but all I was going to say is ask the Macmillan nurses on your chemo unit they might have better suggestions for you…
Take care
Michele
