Thank you Kristen. The nurse is calling the pharmacy to ask what is in cisplantin. I spent 12 yrs sick from allergies (respiratory borne) and on antibiotics because of the allergies so I don't want to go there again. I should have taken a shower when we got home just to relieve the itching possibly. While it's not bad, it's slightly still affecting me a few hours later. I lived through this awful for many years so I'm not mistaken as to what's going on. Just need to find out specifically what is bothering me and wishing he had someone else to drive him to treatments. He could drive himself I'm sure as he's still driving to town to buy himself fast food once or twice a day!

I spent a few weeks getting off of zyrtec after taking it for 15 yrs. my body itched beyond measure those few weeks so I'm very hesitant to take any of those medications again.

I gave him his own fridge to try to reduce him touching stuff though I think it's probably something in his respiration that is really getting to me. Maybe i should wear a face mask to keep from breathing his air and see if the reaction stops. He had his first chemo treatment a week ago. He will have 2 more chemo treatments.

I am wondering where I can buy face masks in this small town????
