Recommendations for Body Wash and Moisturiser During Chemotherapy.
Hi all, I have noticed my dad has dry and itchy skin (no rash) after his first round of chemo and understand this is a common side effect. We have been advised to use non-scented shower gel and moisturizer but there are so many on the market, I wondered if anybody has any recommendations? Thank you

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
Now I'm on carboplatin, etoposide and Atezolizumab-
chemotherapy
and immunotherapy. The following article from Healthline is a great description of what took place, and possibly why.

CLL then long remission and now Myeloma
I was treated with
Chemotherapy
again (Bortezimib, Cyclophosphamide,Dexamethazone) I achieved a good partial remission and now having a bone strengthener infusion called Zonedronic acid once a month. Apparently Myeloma is a cancer of the blood plasma cell which is also linked to the B cell.

Change in low grade diagnosis -to high grade ovarian carcino sarcoma?
My medical team are now seeking to urgently reverse the ileostomy to allow
chemotherapy
to begin as soon as possible. Is there anyone on this forum with a similar experience or advice? I feel so scared and alone with this new diagnosis. Claire

radiation whack-a-mole?
If I am about to play radiation whack-a-mole, it might be better to go straight to
chemotherapy
and skip the collateral damage. I know there are no firm answers, so I am seeking the experience of you all.

Trying to get to retirement before HT
Additionally, I'm contemplating the possibility of taking a low-dose
chemotherapy
pill with minimal side effects. This might help manage the prostate cancer and complement the radiation therapy until I'm ready for the more intensive Hormone Therapy next June (the big guns!).

lupus and cancer
I’ve recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and won’t be able to have radiotherapy or
chemotherapy
due to the lupus. Has anyone else found themselves in this situation and how was it dealt with? I’m having surgery on 2nd of August so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Masofaniten +Enzalutamide This could be a game changer...Science is coming to our aid

In the patients evaluable for efficacy (n=16), rapid, deep and durable reductions in PSA were observed, regardless of previous
status, including in patients who received lower than the full dose of enzalutamide (120 mg).

unhelpful insurance agencies
Started
chemotherapy
with Paclitaxal weekly and injection Phesgo once in 3 weeks. My insurance company National Isiramve denies reimbursement for Phesgo calling it as a modern medicine. I was made to understand Phesgo with
chemotherapy
is covered by insurance.

Not where I expected to be
Followed by
chemotherapy
and radiation. In addition to multiple infections due to a combination of poor infection control by the hopital and/or technique by the surgeon...After all chemo and radiation, later went to a different hospital to have implants removed and fat transfer surgery.
