13 days agoOn day 9 of my first chemo/immuno therapy for NSCLC. I’ve developed a serious burning in the area around my vagina. Is this something you ladies have had and what do you do for it other than a sits bath? Any help is appreciated

13 days agoThis side effect can be particularly uncomfortable during treatment, and it's good that you're reaching out for support and advice from others who may have similar experiences. Many people find that discussing these concerns with their care team is helpful, as they can suggest specific treatments or products that are safe to use during chemotherapy. The community here often shares practical tips for managing treatment side effects, so hopefully others will chime in with what has worked for them.

12 days agoI experienced the same symptom. Ultimately, after trial and error, I discovered that the issue was dryness. Purchase aquaphor or the generic and apply it daily until your treatment ends. Sounds crazy, but it has completely resolved the issue!
