Mucositis misery

Hi everyone, 

I hate to dampen the festive mood, but I'm looking for advice regarding mucositis.. 

I've had 3xEC and 2 Docetaxel. After the first Docetaxel I got horrible mouth sores, stomach ache and (apologies for too much info!) soreness down below. 

After my second Docetaxel, the mouth sores didn't occur but vaginal mucositis has been the bane of my life for the last 10 days. Plus hemorrhoids to boot. I've taken Nystatin for fungal aspect. Used nappy cream, topical lidocaine for pain. And all the anusol products. My eyes are also puffy and sore/itchy and my neck is itchy so using E45 too. I see my oncologist tomorrow. Is there any other meds I could ask for, especially stronger creams for my lower region!!?? This is the first time I am considering asking for a lower doseage of my chemo, though it is also my last chemo so I realise I should try and hang in there. 

Thanks for any advice! xx
