AC Chemo - Day 3
Happy to say day 3 went by very well with no surprising side effects.

Hi Kath,
I know what you mean about dire mouth and gums. Because I cannot use toothpaste I found couple of weeks ore Chemo that bicarb was causing small nicks in my gums so went and bought a soft toddler toothbrush. I have been using that one for the past week and so far so good.
The rinsing with salt is starting to aggravate my tongue I think but am going to persist as even this early on my tongue is so terribly coated in white it scares me.
The snoozy thing is so weird. I am not feeling overly sleepy but it is almost the moment I close my eyes I can just sleep for ages... for me it is weird as I normally cannot sleep during the day and even at night never get more than 5-6 hrs tops.
I know it is Chemo and early days and body is adjusting but still freaking me out I am sleeping this much.
And thank you again for sharing your experience with me Kath as it is so helpfull and reassuring to hear what one can expect ??????
