Ohh nose sores, yes I had those on Paclitaxel, very dry nose, I managed with the saline nasal washes, it definitely helped. Tiredness, the aches were horrid! 3 days of them. My infusion day was a Thursday, Friday i was full of energy, Saturday afternoon the aches started & stayed until Monday night. I forced myself to still walk up & down the stairs in our house, dragging myself back up. On good days I could take the dogs for a short walk, but exhausted afterwards. Still cleared the dog poo from the yard, made myself do things then rested. The neuropathy in my feet (along with my arthritis) was the worst, causing me so much lost sleep. That’s still not gone, but is so much better than it was. I dealt with that by soaking my feet & ankles in a bucket of very hot water & Epsom salts. Didn’t help it was also the start of QLD’s storm season. Med oncologist gave me sleeping pills & Targin to help.
The ‘metal mouth’ on AC for me was more like a thick coating on my mouth & tongue, dulling my tastebuds. Acidic foods & drinks were the only thing that worked.
Including the 938g they removed from my breast, I’ve now lost nearly 10kg… as I’m overweight, I sure don’t mind!
Im still struggling to eat normally a lot of the time, so expect I’ll lose more still. It’s okay, I have plenty I can lose
