Hi Tina and Tom,
Happy New year to you both,this New Year seemed very strange to me,as We were going backwards in time on our journey home from NZ,and a;ways at new year your mind goes back to the last year,and you cannot help but ponder and reflect about the good and bad of the year,and wonder what the future year will hold.

Hi Suzy
I had an itchy rash after my SCT but it soon settled, I have had exma for many a year in the winter months and as I had SCT in December I was on top of it straight away.
Hope hubby is soon sorted.
Love Tom Onwards and Upwards xxx
Michele replied to the topic Itchy Rash Post SCT in the forum Side-effects 12 years, 10 months ago
Fortunately I didn't have any itchy rashes post SCT but did when I was on CDT and that was caused by a drug I was taking at the time.
Was your husband given a new drug to take just before he was discharged? It could be an allergic reaction.
