I have just started treatment for secondary breast cancer which has spread to my bones. I had Fulvestrant (Faslodex) injections in my backside and a DENOSUMAB injection in my stomach. I am taking Paclocibib (Ibrance) tablets.
I am currently in week three of treatment.
I had a blister on my ear, which I thought maybe had been caused by sitting in the sun but now I have a sore nose just inside the nostril. I thought it was a pimple but it is larger than that and now is crusty and sore.
my husband reminded me that I get cold sores on my top lip from time to time so I suspect I have a cold sore in my nose. Dr Google had some photos of nasal cold sores so I think that it the cause. I was gong to treat with Zovirax but has anyone else had a similar experience to share.
