I have been following your thread with interest, as I started my Tx a bit after yours. I am afraid I do not have any helpful input on the rash as I am not familiar with chemo at all. However, just wanted to say that I hope things start improving fast. I have bumped into the oncology head nurse in my hospital today who said, which I think can be applied to a lot of us :" It will get worse before it starts getting better once the TX is done. But it will start getting better pretty soon".
Take care and best of luck!
