Hi fellow buddies, have been off here for a while, been dealing with chyle leak issues very rare with breast cancer..one in 200 lucky me! Had to have 6 weeks on a fat free diet after having a total of 2,250 mls of fluid drained from the Mastectomy site, been a nightmare, backwards and forwards to hospital. My Chemotherapy start on 31st May for 12 weeks. Picc line goes 8n on 30th. Apparently I'm having EC every 2 weeks for 4 weeks and Paclitaxel once every week. Zoledronic acid once every 6 months x6 then I get 6 weeks off before radiotherapy starts, so that's my summer sorted! To say I'm bricking it is an understatement, I know it has to be done and I am preparing for whatever is thrown at me but not looking forward to sickness or sore mouth, I love my food!!
The hair loss I've prepared for by having my long curls cut to a bob then to short, so it won't be so much of a shock, got a false eyelashes ready and an eyebrow stamp, I'm not getting caught out! I've even found a skin kind fake tan..bald I can do but bald and white!? Nooo uncle Fester springs to mind!! Anyway..has anyone else had these types of chemo drugs?? Love to all

Hi Musicmumma
Welcome back to the forum and sorry to hear that you have been having problems with leakage.
I suggest that you make up a solution of salt and warm water and rinse your mouth out with it after every meal. I did that and I didn’t get any mouth sores. Other on here have also suggest sucking on ice cubs during chemo to prevent mouth sores.
I you haven’t already been given a prescription for anti sickness meds you should after your first chemo be given meds or a prescription for anti-sickness meds. Make sure you take them every day to help prevent sickness.
Wishing you the best of luck with chemo and hopefully the side effects will be kind to you.
Best wishes
