Dear @SueM,
I am sorry to read what your Father is going through. Itching is a symptom we often hear about and it can be really debilitating. We have created some information pages about this which includes helpful hints and also suggestions that can be taken to the treatment team - Itching | Blood Cancer UK. Please do have a read through.
You are also very welcome to call us if you wanted to talk things through in more detail. You can reach us on 0808 2080 888.
I have also had a search on the forum for some older threads about itching which may also have some helpful tips for you:
Burning itching PV - General chat - Blood Cancer UK Online Community Forum
Polycythaemia Itch - Living with and after blood cancer - Blood Cancer UK Online Community Forum
I would agree with the comments above, do reach out to the treatment team and have a chat about his symptoms and how challenging things are right now, always best to keep them in the loop as there may be things they can do to help.
We are very much here if you need us,
Best Wishes,
Heidi J (Support Services Nurse)
