Dealing With A Bump In The Road

I experienced a side effect from the Taxatere which I was prepared for, skin rash, but it will not go away. By day 8 my rash was out of control. I spoke to Dr. Garg on Saturday and he urged me to go to the ER. He was concerned the rash developed into Steven Johnson syndrome. The Bloodwork all came back normal. I followed up with the Dermatologist on Monday and my arm was biopsied in 2 places. They are checking for Vasculitis. In the meantime, I was given 2 prescriptions which have helped greatly. Stitches will be removed in 2 weeks.

I follow up with Dr. Garg on Thursday and he will assess how he wants to proceed with the remaining Chemo treatments.
