Last Year I Had Surgery, Chemo And Radiation For Uterine

Last year I had surgery, chemo and radiation for uterine cancer. the chemo was Paclitaxel 270 and Carboplatin 460. Began in June and ended in Sept. In April of this year, 2016, I developed a rash. It has continued through these last months and it continues. It began on my legs and has continued on my legs, arms, trunk, front and back and now it involves my neck and face as well. I had a biopsy, (dermatitis and eczcema ) I had 2 rounds of Prednisone which helped but soon the rash returned. It is extremely itchy and I would not be able to function if it were not for tylenol and other pain relievers. The oncology doctor thinks the rash is unrelated since it did not begin until about 6 months after the chemo was finished. Is that always the case>?
