How to minimize side effects after chemotherapy?
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma last year and underwent the first cycle of 12 sessions of Folfox up to six months. However, the nodes became active again, leading to the initiation of the second cycle of chemotherapy with Paclitaxel. While the first cycle did not entail any side effects, this time I am experiencing pustules, as evident in the uploaded photos.
Additionally, I am an insulin-dependent diabetic and taking medication for hypertension. Currently, I am on Tablet Clavum 625 mg twice daily after food for the past two days, along with Fusidin cream.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
