Thanks Trace, Don't exactly know how many treatments, as we are playing it by ear. My Onc said he would try three then have scans etc to see how things are, then make a decision from there. I'm not receiving the full dose because of all the side effects experienced on previous chemo regimes. Looks like the oral thrush is a player along with sore mouth and throat, and yes I'm using Nilstat for this. I also have prunes along with other extra dried fruit with my cereal each morning. Looks like I will have to start a chemical regime a few days before I even receive the chemo, so the bowels open naturally after. Hate the thought but what else is there! Sue:)
