Struggling through Chemo

Hi @Rona, glad to hear you are doing ok. I had my third dose yesterday. I wasn't given dexamethasone for this round and I was a bit worried about nausea, but that didn't happen. My side effects so far are minimal, one of my finger nails is slightly discoloured and tender, but the rest are fine. No aches last round, a mild rash on my arms and legs which I have been given cream for, and some heartburn which I have been given tablets for. Much less fatigue than AC, just normal tired, rather than complete weakness and exhaustion. I'm also sleeping better, I'm blaming the steroids for some of the insomnia I had. My appetite is still ok, my taste, eyebrows and eyelashes are still hanging in there 😀 I think the mouth washes are helping. I'm using a combination of biotene at night and in the morning which helps with the dry mouth and salt/bicarb wash during the day. I'm also using Nilstat for mild oral thrush. All very manageable.
