Mouth ulcers

Hi Al

So pleased to hear that in general all is going well. As you know I was on FEC 100 then Taxotere and also got ulcers after my first session (also a long time sufferer like Sam). I use Kennalog too but the other thing which I think really helped was my lemonade icy poles! I lived on them for the first 10-14 days after each treatment except first and din't get any more ulcers. I did and still do get 'splits' in the corners of my mouth and Bepanthon (nappy rash ointment) works wonders!!

I had my last chemo on Oct 20 but it did take me a full 2 weeks to start to function again!! Have started radiation this week, day 4 today and so far so good - worse bit is the daily 2 and 1/2 hour travelling there and back each day!!

You amaze me that you are still managing 3 days a week at school. I am only managing 1-2 depending on the week! that strength is obviously your key to doing so well!

Take care and lots of hugs,
