HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, burning is common side effect of chemotherapy if it is not the counter puncture of vein and it need to be first taken care, else it is nothing to worry because such burning will not long last and if this is so then you have to inform this to oncologist hope this information helps.
