Chemo 4

I have not had too bad a side effects from FEC. Things I have found helpful include rinsing mouth with warm salty water after eating and using a natural bi-carb toothpaste I bought at organic store. I have had very little trouble with mouth ulcers doing this, so far. Also I use Moo Goo body wash and moisturizer to keep skin happy. This is a natural range of products made from cows milk that is available at most Chemists. I think my skin is actually in better condition now than before treatment began. The chemo helps with speeding up exfoliation process. Have also used the shampoo and scalp cream regularly to keep my scalp in good condition. I lost my hair around 2 weeks after first FEC so be prepared. Hope you don't have too rough a time with the Chemo. Drink lots of water or flavoured mineral water to flush it through the system in the first 48 hours. I will let you know about the docetaxel. Good luck and treat yourself very gently. xx Deanne
