Hi all. Been a while since I posted on here. I'm due to have my 4th round of chemo next week. I'll be on docetaxel next after having fec. I copied well with the fec although I now have thrush. Can I drink cranberry juice? I know I have to be careful with juices I can/can't drink. Any help would be great.
Good name - same as my ex-cat's!
Anyway back to business....not sure re juices, can't say I avoided or drunk them during chemo but I did suffer all over from the very annoying thrush. I would suggest that you contact your support team as they will be able to give you something that will definitely deal with it, I was initially given some topical treatment that wasn't sufficient so got some tablets.
And you're not confusing cranberry juice as being a solution when you have cystitis? I'm no doctor but just so you're aware.
Hope it clears up soon & good luck with rest of chemo.
Sam
