Chemotherapy tips
I was diagnosed three weeks ago with two lumps in my right breast and had a lumpectomy last week. I was told this would be followed by just radiation but as it turns out I now have to have chemo too. ...
All the best with chemo @Aussiegirl19. I went to the dentist before chemo, also saw a dietician but that wasn't as useful. My dentist recommended a sensitive toothpaste during chemo. I also avoided hot drinks an hour before and after chemo to avoid ulcers. I took iced water with ice cubes in it and a slice of lemons. Prunes were good on and off during this time. I also avoided chilli, onions and garlic but I just didn't feel like them and was unable to taste things towards the end of treatment.
