Hello @niki101 I did encounter a bout of itching after treatment, (Non Hodgkin's) I was taking a few medications during and post therapy. Once medication was discontinued, the itching resolved itself. We assume in my case this was from prolonged use to something, though not 100% sure what. (anti viral we think)

One side effect that you did not mention is numbness in the feet, which if I remember for me, started after a few treatments. I still have that side effect to this day, though it has much improved over time. It has been nearly two years since my last Chemo treatment.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Please continue to reach out on Mayo Clinic Connect as you feel the need. There are many on Connect that may be able to help you and or your mom in many different ways.

Take care and all the best to you and your Mom as you navigate what I know is a difficult path.
