I used Blistex when my lips were dry and cracking. As long as you don’t use anything with petroleum jelly in it.
I also have my own bees’ wax lip balm. Happy to send a pot free if you want one.

Sorry Panch for the late reply day 18 or 30 plus 2 chemo. It is really starting to kick in taste wise gone and even tinned mango taste of nothing, Omg going to have some morp and go to bed , Getting my bottles of nutritional gear from nurse tomorrow , she says min 4 a day for starters and see how we go for next week. I have been eating and today was the first bad day food wise and she reckons body down 4 % and over 5% its hose time but she said see how we go , No big deal . All The Best Regards Min
Hi Panch it appears so as I was suppose to see doctor today but had a long call with dietician yesterday to iron out the food as best as possible, I got the supplement drinks today and have to have 4 a day and try and eat also. We did all the medication and she said I was doing well , so thats good news but as we know things can change quickly so just taking one day as at time. Surrounded by liquid lol .All The Best Regards Min
Hi min you are around the time I needed n g tube ,so keep trying to eat little and often, you can dilute the ensures with milk or water milk obviously more calories. Pour over ice cream over cakes try adding cream to soups poached eggs slip down .But remember if yiu are struggling see the dieticians for a n g tube ut was a lifesaver for me .
good luck Hazel
