Aw Blue, so sorry you are having such a hard time with the chemo.
I guess I was one of the lucky ones who didn't suffer too much. I did have side effects, constipation being the worst, but soon got that sorted, thankfully!
Haven't they tried anything different for the thrush? It's a nightmare when your mouth is hurting so much. My district nurse advised me to freeze grapes and suck on them when my mouth was sore. It's not a cure, but can help cool the pain a bit.
No wonder you are fed up. I hope you are resting as and when you need it.
My thoughts are with you and your family . I hope that soon the pain will ease and you can get a bit of restbite from it all. Did you try Nystan Oral suspension for the thrush??.
Sorry to hear you are having a tough time with chemo. I too was diagnosed with BC and had 6 chemo, I found it really difficult and had horrible side effects. Sore mouth, ulcers, constipation, sickness, awful muscle pain etc. etc. I really did not want to continue with it. I too was taken by my husband (under extreme protest) to every appointment. I guess we are some of the unfortunate ones, as some people barely seem to have any side effects. However, I have now finished all my treatments after 14 months, and had my first mammogram. I received a letter from the hospital last weekend with the results of this mammo, which said 'no significant abnormality' Those three little words made everything worthwhile. I know how hard it is, but hang in there and never take your eye off your goal....it is possible. Very best of luck hun xx
