I discovered this site just today and what an awesome vehicle to openly discuss our common cancer ailments. I'm encourage to read of first timers asking for advice or other helps and you the readers responding to their questions. Last night was the LAST application of efudex at 2/day, 14 days and I'm glad that part is over. This treatment was mild compared to ten years ago which was my first time. I had no idea then what to expect. On this site  I read of burned faces busting open and bleeding, the stares of people and the statement of one writer who said," The last few days of application were like applying gasoline to the effected area" or something to that effect. ALL these were true for me. Some patients seem to react without that intensity, good for you few! Now I'm anxiuos to try the vaseline on my face to relieve the burning and itching, especially around my nostrils/cheek area (dang it hurts!) Thanks for the tips everyone. elevatormike Tue, 17 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT
