As embarrasing as I found it to explain what they could expect it really surprised me how they took it - as something perfectly normal and completely OK so I really was not embarassed after that.
Chemo sucks at times but it has taught me I am human and how to accept I am in fact human so that if an odd 'embarassing' episode happens so what ?? - not the end of the world...

I developed mouth and tongue ulcers with every round (thry lasted a few days) and salty water gargling prevented infevtions and helped them heal quickly with no complications
