There are things besides desitin that will protect your skin. We used Cavilon anti-sting barrier. There are also other cleansers/cream. You want to protect that skin as much as possible in order to resist infection.<br /><br />Hang in there Leah!<br /><br />Janel, mom to Will, age 9 cancer patient.Crescent Moon Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526439195010523683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-13150410539746346202014-05-22T08:40:40.136-05:002014-05-22T08:40:40.136-05:00:'-( I wish I knew the words to say that coul...:'-( I wish I knew the words to say that could magically make all this horror just go away.

I can tell you that if you can't lie still because of the pain you are at a 10 - if you are writhing or doubled over, that is a 10 and you need pain relief. I spent many hours writhing in pain during my tax and neulasta. It is a nightmare. I was one of those that it caused severe ongoing bone pain so I know where you are coming from.<br /><br />Hang in there. It does get better. Of course as soon as you feel almost human they will do it to you again. It is only for a season and it could mean the difference between life and death so it is worth it! On the bright side, you have lost weight so your next dose will be smaller. Also if you are getting hit really hard they can usually reduce the dose and still be at a therapeutic level. Make sure you tell your oncologist everything you are experiencing so they can provide the maximum relief for you. **hugs**Tigger (aka Karyn)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14735958024662927411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-39777100275469573972014-05-22T01:16:26.001-05:002014-05-22T01:16:26.001-05:00I'm saying "good thought" prayers to...I'm saying "good thought" prayers to you right now!
