Hi Amelie, I have two separate skin conditions. I am in the middle of a SCT and have developed itchy spots on my chest and back. They are going to do a skin biopsy on me when I am well enough. Secondly, I have had a small area on each ankle which is itchy and red (about the size of a half crown) this has been there since I was on CDT and I put it down as a partner of NP. However, whilst in hospital it has developed and is moving up my legs. The Dermatologist has given me Betnovate and this has stopped the itching. She says my skin is to dry and has given me a pot of Epaderm to rub into my legs once a day. I also have some small spots that have developed around my mouth for these I have Hydrocortisone cream.
Kindest regards

Thanks for the support Guys and Girls. I think you are right Dai, Tuesday/Wednesday. There are 12 other patients here, one other myeloma, all having Chemo/ Stem Cells etc and everybody else is already in the Drop Phase. As you say everybody is different. Thanks however for the heads up about "ambushes" I shall keep alert.
I have Bloods taken out of me every day and have done since my arrival. They measure/test absolutely everything from Urine to breathing pattern. I had a pain in my chest and within minutes I was on a monitor and masses of paper readings being produced. Doctors and /or Consultant visit every day! My consultant Dr B***** said ?we will get you through this do not worry? and boy did he mean it!

You terrible woman. You can now get snowspikes to add to the soles of your shoes. They are not that expensive and you normally see them in the little magazines that come with the papers. Might be worth considering.

Hi Donna, You do not say how old your dad is. This does effect the level of treatment the hospital will provide.
