Docetaxl

Hey ladies I have survived 4 rounds of AC and had my first round of docetaxl last tuesday. I am overjoyed at the lack of Nausea but the sore mouth is crazy! I have been using Bicarb but it is really bad. I was wondering what other joys this one has for me and if anyone has found any other tricks for the dry mouth

    Hi Erin

    I’m day 5 after my second treatment (TC) I know what you mean about the mouth...  I started gargling with the salt/bi-carb but found I got better result from Biotene mouth but like you my mouth feels so yucky.  At least I haven’t got any mouth ulcers like some ladies. 

    I agree with Tanya day 4-7 is the worst. I have found that I’m really enjoying ‘Calipso’ mini ice blocks the flavour is great and they give me great relief.  I haven’t had a lot of aches but nausea has been terrible for me ever with taking Maxalon. 

    For me my mouth feels best if I can eat something so I will end up as a ten-ton-tessie by the end of all this... LOL

    Best Wishes

    I found a calendula herbal toothpaste at my local heath food shop that was very soothing to my mouth. Hope this helps. Cheers

    Thanks am using the Biotene was hoping for a miracle I guess. I have the Muscle and joint pain also so I guess It's not being too user friendly. Cheers
