Thank you so much that’s really helpful

Your welcome, from memory his hiccups would be bad for the first few days after the chemo session and then would subside. Difflam you can get from a pharmacy but you need to ask for it. 

hi Geraldine 

how is your husbands throat this morning ? Did you call the help line ?

tricia 

Filled him with paracetamol and then found a mouth and throat wash was included in his pack ….. this helped. I think it had similar ingredients to the difflam spray FairiesWearBoots recommended. He is so much better this morning….. actually managed an omelette for breakfast  

The neuropathy has just started to appear so gloves by the fridge and banned from going into the freezer! So grateful for the advice and experiences of people on this forum ….. the place where no one wants to be

Oh that’s good news ! yes my freezer is a total mess but can’t sort it out at the moment I love that mouth wash not being able to eat leaves your mouth feeling horrible and that tastes really nice and freshness it up although i think my taste buds are all to pot anyway 

Sending hugs

Hi Geraldine,

Just noticed your mention of Bridgewater in one of your posts. Are you referring to the Bridgewarer Suite at BCH by any chance? CB

No Bridgwater is the small local hospital near us in Somerset just doing bloods and PICC line care.  Chris is being treated at Musgrove Park in Taunton and Bristol Royal Infirmary. Are you based in Belfast?

Yes I am 

My mum was from Newtownards. She was a theatre sister years ago at the Ards hospital in Belfast before marrying my Dad and coming to England just after the war.
