Anyone having severe hives from Bendeka or Neulasta?
Chemo for 4 months now and I am having severe reaction . I keep getting Hives at diferent parts of my body.This month was bad, all around my eyes, ears. Have tried everything but they keep coming back. Not sure from Bendeka or Neulasta.
Hi ladygolfer18 - I am so sorry you are experiencing these reactions. Upon a review of Bendeka's website, one of the listed side effects is a sever allergic skin reaction and rash. The site states, and we recommend speaking with your doctor if you are experiencing this or any side effects while taking the medication. I hope this information is helpful and please keep us updated on how you are doing. Sending positive thoughts, Anthony (Blood-Cancer.com Team Member)
Anthony, I read a whole pdf from
Mayo clinic and it leads me to believe it is the neulasta.It's the Nuelasta. We found that short of prednisone, Claritin works best. My Dad had hives and blisters all over and the Claritin cleared it right up.
They actually could be chemo burns..I had gone through that blistered up my hands inside and out.
i just Learned something new!
