    Pamela,
    I had the same problem plus itching and couldn’t take it anymore. I had to tell my Oncologist to his face about my problem. LOL! He was very serious and sat and talked to me about it. He said I could use, baby wipes, zinc oxide, vaseline, Benadryl. I would think the sitz bath would help, or if you have the removeable shower head, try that. But, I got lucky and my Oncologist wrote me an Rx for a “butt paste” that is used by the local Children’s Hospital for severe cases of diaper rash. It worked wonders for me. You are right, it is not a laughing matter! Does Lauren have an Rx for the diarrhea? My Dr. gave me an Rx for Lomotil which helps!
    Wish there was something I could do to help Lauren feel better!

    Bob, if your insurance company has denied the use of Nexavar for treatment, your Oncologist should be able to write them a letter with supporting documentation. My Oncologist knew upfront that my insurance company would deny my current treatment. So, he wrote them a letter with his supporting documentation, and they approved it in less than 2 weeks. Do not give up!
    Sending prayers and good thoughts your way.

    I never knew how good “stable” sounded until I heard it for myself last Friday! Congratulations on the good news!

    I woke up at 3:00 a.m. too. Couldn’t sleep due to chemo and the steroids I received Friday afternoon! Think I’ll get a couple of chores out of the way, after I read through the Discussion Board!
