Hello, I'm not on the drug but I am an oncology nurse and most patients have told me that Benedryl or Gold Bond medicated powder or creams have helped and some oncologists prescribe Atarax for the itching. You need to discuss this with your oncologist and let your onc recommend something to combat this common side effect. Good luck, Carm.
