Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Well, I saw my medical oncologist who talked to the RO at the hospital (A new person since I was treated there). The RO said he didn't think it could be related to the radiation. Perhaps it's an interaction--somehting else starts it up but the skin that was radiated ois more sensitive. The MO said to try benedryl (an antihistamine) the next time, because for me it definitely itches and drives me crazy. So I guess I'll do that.
As long as it goes away quickly and I can control the itching I giess I'll have to live with it if I can't figure out what's causing it.
