New developments

I was definitely hoping to avoid the rashes associated with the treatment, but it doesn't look like I am going to be so lucky. First traces exhibited themselves around my right elbow on Friday, almost unnoticeable then. Since then it has grown into a patch covered in hard nodules, no strange colours or anything, only mildly itchy. Looking online, I find that it is common for such rashes to begin during the 7th week of treatment--which I am entering into now. Blargh. We shall see. So far, not red or blistery. Apparently, the treatment is continued while the rash covers less than 50% of the body. I guess there are ways to control it, and associated itchiness. I have an appointment with my GE tomorrow and will report afterwards.
