Tracy, I can speak to the rash. John broke out in a rash about the 3rd week of radiation-on his chest and back- no one knew what it was, but they let him use a cream[can't remember what, but it was anti itch] as long as he showered before his rad tx. It went away after about a week. John also had an undetermined fever, about 101, for a couple of days, and was very weak and dehydrated. Couldn't pinpoint that either, but he was given an antibiotic-it went away also.There are lots of downs in this treatment, BUT there will be UPS at the end. You gotta stay strong. John's rad ended July 8th and he is driving me and a 17 mo. old to San Antonio, Texas tomorrow. We are pul;ling for you guys. Amy
