Hi I'm now on my third treatment and this stuff is really irritating and burning everything it comes into contact with. I now have burning at the back of the throat, like heartburn but at the top of the gullet. Does anyone have any suggestions other than cold drinks or suck an ice cube and take paracetamol? Thanks. Any solutions gratefully received.
I was prescribed Omeprazole after some horrific heartburn/indigestion with my first chemo and I took it daily throughout treatment. Maybe you can talk to your medical team about this
