Thank you for sharing: all your observations are valuable!!! I will note the name of the RX for future use... trials and errors when it comes to soothing the skin when having an outbreak. The third time was the charm! hardly any itching or burning. I will look up the protocol as I don't remember it and that was like 3 or 4 months ago, and will get back to you. I have a protocol for numbing the very painful biopsies after 10 of them... Oxycodon: just one pill 1 hr before biopsy and lidocaine 5% both RX. Then the doctor comes in and gives about three lidocaine shots and I don't feel a thing after that... Basically as we know so far is that we don't know the outcome of this strange cancer.. May we all be blessed for a good outcome.
