I want to know from people who are dealing with or have dealt with cancer, have you have your "skin"

hurt? Ever since I had my surgery last February, my skin has hurt ALL OVER. I was wondering is it just me or something that happens for all us?

although he was red from head to toe last Valentine's Day with a rash that was cleared by a topical spray ... Clobex. A variety of rashes, but not a consistent pain. Any suggestions from the doc?

I'm pretty sure its the chemo killing off the roots of my hair. I remember it hurting during my first chemo. My hair hasn't started falling out yet, but I expect that to happen in the next two or three weeks.

I just got a Neulasta shot. I am supposed to experience bone pain in about 24 hours. I don't remember that during my first round; but I was in the low point of my chemo and just remember complete misery.

I"ll be sending good vibes your way and hope that you are feeling better soon. cmd
