Hi Cas,
When you see your Oncologist on 20th, you will probably be given a list. Chemo can give you a dry mouth and nose, so they suggest a mouthwash such as Biotene, and Biotene toothpaste as well as a very soft toothbrush. For the nose, Nozoil spray was brilliant - a tiny dispenser that makes all the difference.
You will definitely need that thermometer - if your temp is above 38o you need to call them or go to the hospital in case of infection.
Yes, you would have missed both as you were in and out over the weekend.They must have fitted you in asap. If you have a portacath you will love it - especially if you are on weekly infusions as I was!
Hang in there, Cas. It will all fall into place. (Your exercise was harder!) Michelle xx
