You are in the home stretch.
You are in the home stretch. Finish the treatment then you can concentrate on healing. It got pretty intense for me after the fifth week with the chemo. My doc scheduled me for IV fluids three times a week. I took lots of sitz baths with Epson salt and baking soda. After treatment ended I used Domeboro compresses on the burns along with Aquaphor and aloe. I used hydrocortisone for the itching. I took the pain meds and I slept a lot. I saw improvement about two weeks after treatment ended. Drink lots of water and eat protein.
