For Attention Of Gness

[jennyjoan]

Good morning Gness - wherever you are lOL - believe you are in Ireland presumably South of which is very beautiful and having a sup of the Oul Gness- well not that at this time of morning.

Called over to cancer friend yesterday who has got home a little better but showed me her back which was on fire as if it was sun burnt and she was going nuts.

I am asking very carefully that if I were to dab her with the watered down tree oil - would it help.

As far as I can see these "creams" are not working as she has been using them for 3 weeks and also this has come from the dertermaology word.

Personally I would do it for her but then I am afraid of "hurting her more". Also this rash is firey that I do think she needs an antiobotic orally (but that was the only that triggered it off - which she said was HORRENDOUS as it came onto her face, behind her eyes and swelled her face.

All the chemo, breasts off etc - she has said this that the most she suffered

Also hickman will not come out on16th June and this DEPENDS on this rash clearing up - hickman will not come out.

PS - I would like to clean her with the tree oil as well can you buy large bottle of tree oil if so - could you provide me a link - thank you and have a great time in Ireland Du Sord .

Hi, Conne....just landed in Roscommon......don't put the Tea Tree Oil on her skin.......it's fine to put a few drops in a bath but not even watered down on skin that's fragile.
I don't know what to suggest in this case....we never found out anything that really worked for MrG in that situation.....and a friend is going throught the same now.
Tea Tree Oil is what I used to clean hospital rooms and wards to keep MrG infection free.....

Aloe Vera is worth investigating......I met a lady who bought the Aloe Vera drink to help her skin problems....but that wasn't cancer....x

[waterboatman]

Aloe Vera is your best plan Conne. My Vera used it to great effect when she had cancer, twice.

[waterboatman]

You can get it as gel,. It can be used instead of soap too.

Gness, Have a pint of Liffey water for me!

[gness]

Interesting, Boaty......did Vera try the drink as well as the creams?

[gness]

Oh I will, Boaty....just the one?....x

[Cloverjo]

I think calamine lotion might help. Dab it on gently.
Poor lady, it sounds very painful.

[waterboatman]

'just the one was being polite. You know very well it's illegal to have one in Ireland! :-)

No, she didn't have the drink, but found the cream was a very good soap too.

[gness]

Well I'm on my third.....and the chap across the table is singing The Fields of Athenry.......x

[waterboatman]

Memories. :-)

[jennyjoan]

My heart's is breaking for her (Sat) this is Sun) - she asked me to look at the back and of course it is an infection - boy, I'm not a nurse nor profess to be - but it looked sorta to (she is a very white skinned lady) she looked surnburnt.

The horrendous thing about it all - that is if the skin disease doesn't calm down (dermataology (wrong spe) - they wont' remove her hickman on 15 June =- ie if she has the skin disease - they wont' take out the hickman#

Sista and myself doesn't understand where is the connection.

[Mamyalynne]

She really should have a point of contact with someone from the Cancer Ward/Department - this sounds miserable and there may be something to ease her pain somewhat.

I hope she can get some help rather than struggle on like this.

She should also ask what the connection is with the skin issue and line removal.

[jourdain2]

It sounds horrible - I'd go more with aloe vera, which is super-soothing (that's without knowing all the details).

[jennyjoan]

thank you all
