Chemo no. 2 -2nd Jan
Well only a few more days left of normal and then back into it again. My hair is starting to snap off now, lucky that i had it shaved to a number 2. but i still shed a tear when that first clump came...

Hi sue. I had my first TC at the same time as you. I was advised to suck on lemonade iceblocks ( icy poles) during the infusion and had no mouth problems at all. Took them in a little eskie lunchbox with ice. Had the throat tho. I found the strong manuka honey, just a bit on a spoon, every hour or two and especially at night and in the mornings soothed it amazingly but then I am biased probably being a kiwi.
I will be a week late with the second round as I am in Saigon airport on a delayed holiday! Had my long hair cut short Christmas Eve. Cried a river. Now I am moulting like a sick chook! Sigh...... Not brave enough to shave it yet. Itchy tho.
Good luck for the 2nd. Let us know how it goes.
