Hi @Number2
Sending you hugs for your neoadjuvant chemo.
I did TCHP for triple positive IDC last year. When my hair started falling out, I did a number 4 with the clippers. I didn’t need to shave as the rest fell out anyway, but there was less mess as it was shorter. I wore a bamboo beanie as it was warm (for winter) and soft for my head.
Hopefully someone else can help with the nostrils and armpits, as I didn’t have those side effects. Definitely contact your oncologist if you are concerned about the armpit swelling.
My tongue would be thick and horrible in the first week after chemo. Everything tasted bad, including water so I struggled to eat and drink. I would gargle warm, salty water all throughout the day or Oral7 mouthwash. Also try chewing gum.
All the best
