@KylieG I used Biotene right through chemo on recommendation of others on this forum and had no ulcers although a lot find salt water fine. One episode of oral thrush which was quickly sorted out by GP.
Cannabis is legal in theory but difficult to get. I'm sure there's a lot of people who would be interested if you are able to get a script.
My onc put me on Ativan for nausea (it does make you drowsy) which worked a treat, and Somac then later, Nexium for reflux.
I found it easiest to keep a notepad on the bench to record my symptoms, temperature, when I had taken meds, and how I was feeling in general. This was useful in tracking how I was feeling (and when I had taken that last pill) so that I could recognise the pattern of response to chemo. It also meant that I could compile an accurate "diary" for the onc when I saw him - he would read my notes and put them in my file afterwards.
Find out what additional services, if any, are available from your clinic or if they refer elsewhere. You may be able to access exercise programmes, psychologist, nutritionist, etc. If they don't have anything like that, the folk on here may be able to suggest something near you (it can help to put your general area on your profile but don't be too specific).
