Hi
- so sorry to hear about the discomfort you've been feeling since starting Efudex. Unfortunately, we see this a lot in the community. Have you been able to check out our topical chemotherapy hub yet? There is a lot of great information there about how to relieve pain and discomfort caused by the treatment. Here's the link if you haven't read it already: https://skincancer.net/topical-chemotherapy-guide. How many more days do you have of treatment? Keep me posted on how you're doing! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator) My doctor has stopped the treatment because it was infected he said if I don't stop I could end up a drip
Oh no! Well, I'm glad you were able to stop the treatment to avoid further infection. Did your doctor give you any next steps on how to treat the area? -Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)

I'm sorry you don't have a clear answer yet, but I'm hoping you get some good news soon. Keep me posted! -Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
I am using the chemotherapy cream on my chest right directly over my heart, and I am also using it on my ankle I have been vomiting so tired,such headaches I have I only eat mash potatoes, pasta, and drink water. Five more weeks.😞
Sending you healing wishes for the rest of your treatment! So sorry to hear how exhausting your experience has been so far. It's a shame how taxing Efudex can be, but know you're not alone in this. Keep us posted on how you're doing! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
