Severe itching

[Trower]

We went to ER today because rash and itching are escalating. They gave him a cortisone shot and a benedryl shot. So far, it has not made a difference. They gave him script for prednisone and hydroxyzine. We have appt to see oncologist tomorrow. Something has to give. He is getting no sleep.

So sorry to hear this. Please let us know the outcome. We care.

After 2 days of prednisone and hydroxyzine, the itching is lessening. Oncologist thinks it is a reaction to the chemo treatment Keytruda that Herb is on monthly. Now we have to decide whether to continue that cancer treatment.

Thank you for the reply! That's half the battle - pinning down the cause! Hope your oncologist find the great alternative soon. And then you both can catch your breath and get some rest. Hugs!
