Radiation Recall

Postby blanca » Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:26 pm

Has anyone had this problem? I have been told that you can only get this during or shortly after getting chemo. But I have also read that you can get it up to 15 years after radiation. What the heck is going on? My last chemo treatment was last summer in August, why am I having this awful side effect? It started as a rash and then kept on getting worse and worse. Now it is bright red and hurts like hell. Plus it is turning brown, like the first time. But this time it seems to extend more up my hips. Does anyone have any advice? I am going to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully get to the bottom of this.
