    Funny you should mention it because I developed a sore throat yesterday after feeling exhausted since my chemo on Thursday (cycle 3). It seems to have settled down a bit now but still a little sore. The tiredness has abated and I am feeling much better today. Maybe just picked it up from some random germ. There are a few cold germs floating around from what I have observed with the sounds of sneezing and coughing as I trundle among the aisles of Woollies my scarf forever tightening around my mouth and nose in the pure desperation of staying clean! Healthy hugs, Gilly xx

    Ask your chemo nurses they can offer plenty of suggestions.

    I was crunching on ice whilst I had chemoso i wouldn't get mouth sores. Depends what chemo you are on - but the nurses will know.

    I also bought lots of the biotene mouthwash and toothpaste products, recommended by many ladies here. Again ask your pharmacist.

    The other thing I found helpful was a spoonful of manuka honey at least the 15+ .

    All the very best.

    Hi 

    How are you going in your first cycle? I have not got a sore throat which is good. Been looking after myself. I was so tired on friday and saturday, still tired but not as exhausted as those days. May try and go to work for half a day tomorrow and need to have a blood test. Cross fingers so far so good. but its early days. 

    Hope you are well otherwise.
