Well I lost a portion of my hair already so decided to shave it off. I
also noticed small red spots like prickly heat or infected hair follicle
(sp)
But they do not have white centers and no dark spots. But my toe nails
and finger nails seem to be turning dark. I have my next treatment on
the 5th (Wednesday) .

Will talk to my ONC then about my nails I tried to research this and
seem to me it is somewhat normal, I could be wrong. Same as the red
spots on my brain bucket I think it is normal my scalp itches but not
beyond control. Starting to loose my eyebrows and body hair.

Take care Karen and Doug I will keep you both in my prayers and try to
monitor your post as our treatment and schedule seem to be close as my
first round was on April 14 and second is on the 5th.

Thanks Frank! Tomorrow we go to the doc with my long list of questions. Poor
guy--I'd hate to have to answer to me. But when I find out about the red
spots I'll post the answer in case it helps you too.

Your next chemo is on the 5th? Doug's is on May 11th (his third), so yes you
are almost neck and neck. Best of luck with your treatment! Hope you have a
minimum of nasty effects.

Cheers!

Karen
