Chemotherapy starting

very best of luck to you Mark x

Thank you Lynn much appreciated 

Thanks for the support Angela.

Hi rely

A quick question.

Did you use the mouth wash to prevent any mouth ulcers occurring? Or did they occur and then you used it?

Thanks 

Mark

Hi Mark. My oncologist recommended using a good quality mouthwash regularly as a preventative measure to help prevent mouth sores which can happen with chemo. I swilled out a couple of times a day and didn't get any. Best wishes 

Thanks for getting back to me 

I'll give that a go rily 

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark. The nurses will look after you and give you lots of advice.

Hi rily

Sorry to bother you so late. Since my first chemotherapy on Thursday I have felt really good I have had no major issues and count my self lucky.

However, I have continously had really bad hiccups, heartburn and indigestion which lasts for hours at a time. Iam putting it down to the sickness tables and steroid tablets I was sent home with but iam afraid to take any other remedies for it.

Have you heard of anyone else with similar after their chemotherapy?

Many thanks

Mark

Hi Mark. Not had these issues myself, but the hiccups and other various side effects come up on here often. No real answers, only to take on board plenty of water. Best wishes.

Thanks for getting back to me. Iam back in on Thursday for gemcitabine I'll enquire then.

Thanks rily

Mark
