Thanks for the reply. I tried Claritin for about 2 weeks, but there was no noticeable difference, so I stopped taking it. A lot of joint stiffness, so it’s what I’d call tolerable rather than painful - the main thing is it keeps me from working as a dentist. Need that fine motor skill to hold the instruments, and hoping it will return soon, or if not during treatment, then after I’m finished with it.

I’m doing immunotherapy rather than chemo, but I also wondered about the every 3 weeks at half the dosage vs. the way I’m getting it. Both oncologists I consulted recommended the same course of treatment, so it wasn’t like either one suggested anything else. I’ll ask at my next infusion appointment.
