AC Chemo - Day 3
Happy to say day 3 went by very well with no surprising side effects.
Well, I did learn that bacteria overgrowth is happening already and that I was being slack with mouth hygiene so that is now a ...
Glad things are going well. I've luckily avoided any mouth issues...my first round I brushed my teeth after every time I ate...which was frequent...but my gums got a little ouchy...so backed off a bit. I now just brush morning and night and floss when I feel I need ...especially after eating nuts. Prior chemo I did have a full dental check and clean which I think has really made the difference for me. Now as to napping...your body has been poisoned and although it's good to do some exercise if you feel able to...if you feel so exhausted you need a nap...well have one. Your body needs repair time also. I've been finding I can do exercise one day and then need a rest day. Best of luck day 4...it was my worst day in all cycles even with additional steroids. Take care. Kath x
