Hi,

I am on day 3 of CTD and yesterday woke up with a flushed looking face. To be honest its the first time I've looked healthy for a long time!!:-D

It does't itch or hurt, just wondered with of the drugs may have caused it.

Still got no appetite.

Love
Tina

Hi Tina,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Dex [b]TM[/b]. Its the 'D' of your CDT… Dexamethasone.. a small but very powerful steroid that has a bit of a reputation for causing all sorts of small problems… from 'Moonface' to flushes and bad attitude to excessive sweating. But… it is also an excellent drug because it works. It boosts your system, fights the cancer and whatever the side-effects it will be one of your best friends throughout your courses of treatment.

Dex is okay by me, Dex is my friend.:-)

Dai.
