Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Yep Alena swells anywhere there is a mark. She is having a very hard time with her last biopsy spots as they flare up all the time and they are exactly at the hip where her hand rests so a perfect spot to itch. The gastrocream really really works, I use it on Olivia all the time now, even made her, her own bottle of it that she carries with her. I have read where if you get a wound of any sort to put this on over the antibiotic you use and it will take the itch of the healing away (what mast cells are SUPPOSED to do) and I have tried it and it does help the healing. I am using this method on the site of Olivia's skin biopsy she had on Thursday and she hasn't bothered it so it must work. You should also check out the book called " Fixing Frannie " Written by Frannie Rose. I think you would enjoy it. I just mailed off my copy to Jackie, but you could order it from Amazon. She is a sweet woman who has Masto and all the CRAP she went through to get diagnosed. I think you could really identify with her. It is a short book as well, I read it in a day.
