My special side effects Cycle 2
My other side effect is my face is red and peeling. I may have done that to myself because I was cold the other morning so I sat in the sun for a short while. I had a hat on and sunscreen in my makeup, but it just might have been the sun exposure. Won't do that again.
I'm bald, burned, and bandaged! I already feel like I've aged 10 years in the past 4 months, and now this!

Sorry
Sorry about the the lastest side effects. I didn't have that but you are right don't get sick on the weekend. My only option is the ER and I hate those drs. One good thing tho, is that after I finished chemo, a month ago all the dry skin on my face came off. Much easier to get it off in the shower. My face is so soft now, I use moisturizer but I can't believe how soft it is. Still waiting on hair but I'll take what I get when I get it.

Suzanne I wish
I had read your post before I submitted my own. I woke up this morning with my face breaking out like I'm 16 instead of 61! I am so sorry for what you've gone through! Isn't it always the Friday night itis when it's too late to call your regular dr. I'm glad you were able to get antibiotics but ooooooh your hand sounds sore )-: Hope you feel better soon.

Suzanne .. I don't understand your hand side effort ...jo jo said:Suzanne so sorry about your
Suzanne so sorry about your new special side effects....yep it always seems to happen on a weekend...mine did too...i hope it all gets better soon!
but I have the upmost sympathy for you - werid side efforts were a part of my chemo .. In fact I burned my face while picking up dog do-do in the back yard .. it was at that time I figured out I needed to protect my neck and face with slathers of sun screen. Which then caused acme .. yes, acme like back in high school ... Icky
Keep up your strength ..
Cyber Hugs ..

Oh no Suzanne
I'm sorry for the "funky" side effects. That's what I call them...funky! I sure hope this passes quickly for you.
And you're so right about aging. From the time I was diagnosed at age 45, I really look like I've aged 10 years instead of five.
All the meds, rads, surgeries are really rough on our bodies.
Sending hugs and prayers your way!

I had similar side effect after my 5th Chemo, it is not uncommon. The good news you got medical care which you needed. Hopefully antibiotics will help. They did help me. Try to stay away from cooking and house work, like cleaning, gardening and ect.
Wishing you a quick healing0 -
Oh Suzanne
I'm so sorry this has happened to you, just what you needed right. Murphy's law. And things always have to happen on the week ends. I hope your hand is better soon.
Take care Kay,0
