Kidney Cancer

[oldmom]

This past Thursday, I just had my 5th Torisel treatment.
Last time they had to stick me 4 times before they found a vein. So next Thursday the 15th. I am having a port put in and then I am going for my Chemo treatment right after it is installed. All the side effects that I did have are gone. The blisters in the mouth, I used Colgates Orabase for Canker and mouth sores. (CVS) and Benadryl for the blisters and itching on my feet.
Another side effect that has turned up, I have not read about, but wonder if anyone else has experienced it. I have nodules turning up on my scalp. They are spreading, but only on my head..
They feel like small bumps all over. Good thing I still have my hair, which covers the bumps. (I just hope they don't spread to my face, or I might end up on the Science Fiction Channel as one of those bumpy face monsters.
Has anyone had this side effect, or can it be something worse?
I did have a C Scan taken this morning of my abdomen/ pelvis/ chest and head. But will not know the results for a few days yet.
It is a Stage 4 Kidney Cancer that I have.
That's it for now, and I hope all you mothers out there have a wonderful Mother's Day. And know that all that are connected to this Cancer Compass forum as a patient or care giver for a loved one with this
insidious disease, you are all in my prayers. God Bless You..oldmom (74
