I had my first chemo treatment on Halloween. I am very tired. But the one of the side effects from the chemo is really itchy hands and feet and well everywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions? Kabonna Mon, 06 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT I had really itchy skin w/hodgkins. But that was part of system. After a few more treatments of chemo the itching should go away.
