Morning 👋, I haven't had this but I get an itch inside my throat. Have you tried antihistamine? It helps and it also helps with joint pains, I take it everyday now, maybe this irritation has caused your ca125 to increase too. Ring your Nurse and get advice and try the antihistamines. Big hug x

Thanks for replying yes I am taking Benadryl it does help I did wonder if it was affecting my 125 numbers I only finished chemo on 8th January you just live by these 125 numbers it is probably not a good idea

I had a similar reaction, to immunotherapy. I was so itchy. My oncologist put me on a low-dose of Lyrica and that seem to help a lot. I’m allergic to Benadryl.
