Itchy burny lymphoma - Cures?

Does anyone have any remedy for the burning and itching caused by non Hodgkins lymphoma cancer?  I am going crazy and want to rip my skin off my body.  My doctors say they have no more medication to try to reduce it.  I just have to wait 1 1/2 weeks till my next chemo session and hope it goes away after that...  Please help!

My body is now riddled with tumours but I have outlived predictions of more than 4 weeks of survival now, but I guess soon this is adios!

After 8 R-CHOPs, one R-DHAP, one R-VIM, one R-IM I had a PET-CT scan on Thursday.  The results show my tumour has doubled in size in one month, is now around 10 cms and I have a new tumour under my clavicle and one in my stomach.  The doctors say that there is no further chemo to try and no radiation possible.  They have given me less than 3 months to live. Do you have any further advice or a second opinion?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your message.  My symptoms commenced with itching all over my body, even when I slept.  Eventually after 9 months of investigation, an x-ray was taken of my chest, showing that I have a tumour between my heart and lungs, subsequent biopsies proved that it was Non Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer.  I dont know íf this helps you ,but I really hope that you are mistaken and that you have something much simpler to solve!  Take care.
