itchy

Dave's been very itchy the last few weeks, but it's gotten pretty bad since the weekend. The nurse we talked to this week said that the chemo/lower immune system response could cause allergies he previously had to be worse, so I guess that's whats happening. There's definitely no swelling of the face (nor anything else we should be looking out for) from the vaccine. He's itching so much that he's losing little patches of hair, which is new. He used to itch himself raw - I don't know what I'd prefer. We gave him benadryl this morning, and it already seems to be working.
