Coming to terms with incurable blood cancer is tough and so is managing the side effects of the cancer. In particular for Lymphoma patients it is the itiching skin that drives people mad. I now have a number of ways of dealing with itch especially on hands and feet at night. I am happy to give details of my “itch pack” that I take everywhere with me. Can you guide me to the appropriate place for me to post this information if deemed appropriate.
