Can i ask if any one had sore bloody nose while on Flot Chemo 3rd round 

  • Hi Nicnac12

    Sorry to see that you have a sore bloody nose on your Flot Chemo.

    I had a bit of irritation in and around my nose when I noticed that the fine hairs were gone due to the chemo. I also had a lot of soreness in my mouth.

    Best thing to do is to give your helpline/CNS a call and mention it. They can then arrange to check your platelets etc in case they are low on your next blood test. I had low levels after the first couple of cycles. They may also be able to provide a cream or something to help to make you feel more comfortable.

    Hope this helps, but if there is anything else you need please do ask.

    Jane

  • No problem- I rang my help line many times and they were always fine with me doing it and it is sometimes just reassurance you need but sometimes they can send a prescription through for you. They are the experts as they know all your details.

    I hope it can get sorted quickly

  • Hi

    i had a very runny nose which sometimes was a nosebleed.  Luckily for me it was only ever a minor bleed so I didn’t worry too much, i understand that if you lose you nose hair a runny nose is normal.
