Hi all,
ive just had my first chemo 6 days ago and I feel awful! I thought I could carry on but does it get easier to deal with? I though I could go back to work in between sessions!
Hi
Just replied to your new to site message - Sorry, didn't realise you were under 50 until I spotted this
Most under 50's join the Main Breast Group as well to cover all the bases There is a link in the other reply.
Hugs, G n' J
Hi saw your post and it mirrors myself,lst chemo down and now on day 9 an beginning to feel my normal,other than sores in my mouth and throat,trying to think positive its necessary to do this to get rid of it but all the same hardgoing,has anyone got ideas for the sores,cleaning with a soft brush and eating ice cubes.......,
Hi Daisy20 if your mouth is sore rinse it with alcohol free medicated mouthwash twice daily. Also use a soft toothbrush. It should then clear up quite quickly. Check out all thr hints on the first posting of thr February chemo thread on the Breast Cancer forum x
Thankyou lm getting up right now to rinse l had cleaned but forgot about the mouthwash
