Hi all,

I queried a while ago about the chemo cream 'Efudix", as pre-cancerous cells on my lower lip were discovered from a biopsy, after severe bleeding late last year.

Well, I survived the 'Efudix' (almost!), stopped it early after 13 days because of more bleeding, oozing, swelling and pain. I saw my dermatologist last Friday and was given corticosteroid cream, plus moisturisers. I stopped using this corticosteroid cream last night as I'm still bleeding, oozing and sore.

My query is, could this be a result of radiotherapy (38 or more doses, 3 fields, no IMRT)? Has anyone else experienced such problems?

Cheers!

Tizz
