@MKitty68 ... nose sores, yes, have had a running nose since chemo started, so bad sometimes that it literally drips. I look great blowing my nose with a thermometer in my mouth! Have thought about sticking two tampons up my nostrils ... light flow! This last chemo every time I blow my nose it bleeds a little. If it's not one end, it's the other! TMI but even though I take 4 tabs coloxyl daily I still need to use the numbing cream at night and in the day or tear that end too and have blood spots. I don't think a lot of people realise all the self care that goes on with this business. There's the Cancer Business and the Chemist Business! I am well into the red now. No pun intended! Also this last chemo my fingers and feet feel raw ... as if I have cut my nails too short and dragged my fingers and feet along gravel. The other night my left hand had pain the numbness then pins and needles. Eye is twitching less. Wondering if this is peripheral neuropathy with the fingers and feet? I had some temgesic for the week following chemo and leg/bone pains. Am not sure if I will need with herceptin? No harm asking. They only gave me 7. Gold? @Romla I am so glad to get positive feedback about the calendula! Glad I haven't wasted money on it. Thanks for that!
