I had my third ABVD on Monday (12/11/12) they had trouble getting a vein again but that's not unusual the nurse said.
I'm still getting really bad heartburn or acid reflux. I'm taking Ranetedine and Gaviscon but its still there grrr!
My taste buds are all over the place too, it's that or the sores in my mouth making stuff taste strange.
The only thing that's still tastes the same is coffee.
My next ABVD is on the 26th with a appointment with my consultant on the 29th, I'm guessing I will be sent for tests after that appointment.
Did I mention my hair on my last blog?
Well if not, it started to come out last week so I shaved it! I have a few sores on my scalp that I'm putting Aloe Vera on. That seems to be helping.

Hi Mate,
Pleased to hear its going ok for you...I'm on RCHOP (Have my third next week) and suffered with sickness and heartburn, thankfully tho' they've sorted both out with different stuff...heartburn with Lansoprazole (and Gaviscon) and sickness with Ondansetron.
Thankfully I've not suffered with the mouth sores, but like you said everything tastes alot different!!
I got fed up with hair in my tea...so, I too took the plunge and shaved it...apart from a few sores on the back of my head/ neck area it's not too bad, a bit cold for the time of year, but I've found that Nivia aftershave balm non-alchoholic is working and it's tuffening up the scalp aswell.
Hi Wookie,
I will see how the weekend goes and if its still bad I will suggest the Lansoprazole to my doctor and see if he will change one of mine.
Thanks for the suggestions.
