dr_lindac Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi all - My mom has had severe itching after the last 2 rounds of Topotecan. I did a little research and sites are saying that this can be a sign of a serious allergic reaction. We'll be telling the doctor about the itching this week, but was wondering if any of y'all had experienced the same thing personally or seen a family/friend with the itching. Thanks!

Beachmama Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi there! My mom had 6 months of topecatan and did not have any itching. She had mild symptoms, the worst of which was nausea and fatigue. I hope you get some feedback from the onc this week. Good luck to you and your mom. You are in my prayers.

dr_lindac Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks to both of you. My sister asked at last week's doctor's appt. and was reassured that it was not an allergic reaction. Mostly stable scan again, too. So, a good week! LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
