I've been getting Doxil infusions (18mg per swuare meter) for my brain cancer treatment every other Tuesday for almost a year.
I had the dry skin rash where my bra rubbed against my body. I had to use a cream that dried the skin out more and then after that dried apply a moisturizer.
I don't know why you wouldn't be able to have a steroid shot. I've been given the steroid decadron as a premedication with my chemo. I've also been given perdisone to help with an ear infection I had.
The hand-foot stuff is a pain. For my feet I soak them good then coat them with a ton of Vasaline. Then I wrap my feet in plastic food wrap to keep the moisture in. I put socks on over the wrap and leave it like that for at least 30 minutes. It makes my feet nice and soft. It helps with the hands for a little while too.
For everyday use I use Curel fragrance free lotion.
