Very sore mouth after round 1 of epi-cmf

Less than one minute read time.

Well im very tired and grumpy only had about 2 hours sleep because im in so much pain with my mouth!!!

I stupidly thought round 1 of chemo wouldnt have that many side effects on me.... How wrong was i!!! And to think that they will get worse :-(

Im off to the doctors this morning to see if they can give me a stronger mouthwash, if the effects are going to get worse then on the plus side i will be a size 10 by the time chemos up lol. What i would give to wake up and have a cuppa instead of a mouthfull of oraldene first!!!

All the people on chat have been fantastic reccomending different meds to ease the effects of chemo and im not leaving the docs today until they give me some difflam as that seems to work well for people!!

Hope your all well, sorry for moaning but ARGHHHHHH it hurts :-( and thought this might make me feel better :-)

Take care,

Emma xx :-)

    Hi Emma

    When I started chemo I was handed a bag with various meds in including difflam "In case you get a sore mouth". Chucked the stuff in the back of a cupboard. Six weeks later (round 3) was up in the middle of night looking for it and it worked really well.

    If my chemo people new to hand a bottle out just in case then why not yours?

    Hope it gets easier
