A Rash Decision
To scratch or not to scratch… that is my major health decision lately. This rash is driving me crazy. I know, I know, those of you who know me are saying to yourself, “Crazy… that’s new, how?”
After I do scratch, the next decision I need to make is whether to use aloe vera or coconut oil to soothe my skin.
Then, after I slather stuff all over, I have to decide whether or not to take a bath to take the gunk back off. I wonder when I enter the looney bin, if they can stop the itching, or will I be too bonkers to care?

I vote for coconut oil–then you can pretend you’re drinking mai tais on the beach in Hawaii.
Like the coconut oil comment by Debbie- anything to nurture you!
Your sense of humor is endearing. Hang in there! Sending good vibes.
Also, you may already be doing this-but one “practical” thought-if you don’t towel dry completely after showering, then apply lotion-it sometimes holds more moisture. Also, aloe vera seems to evaporate quickly–unless in a good oil-based lotion. However, I’m sure it’s not that simple.
Love your blog Marie, you are hilarious even in the mist of cancer. Love ya girl, Kaaran
