Helpful Hint??
Hi I just wanted to let you know that I have found a product Biotene it comes in a toothpaste, mouth wash and also a mouth spray for dry mouth I have found it so much better than bi carb!!!!!
Also ...
Hi Jacqui
I also use Biotene products - they are great. I use the toothpaste and mouth wash twice a day and have the gum and mouth spray on hand if I need it. Although with all the water I am drinking I haven't had to use the gum or spray much.
I have had x2 FEC - 1 more and then I move on to taxotere. I have also been told to use revitanail to harden my nails. My onc nurse told me to keep using it in the months following treatment as your nails wont improve straight away and if I neglect them after treatment I may still have problems.
As I have always played sport I have never been much of a nail person either. Last week a friend of mine who is a beauty therapist gave me a manicure. My nails , short as they are, looked so nice. So now I am trying to stay on top of things - I keep a nail file, my revitanail and hand cream on the side table in the living room so when I sit down to watch tv at night I give my hands and nails a bit of pampering.
I have also been having a daily tonic for hair, skin and nails by swisse. Don't know if it is helping but I'm giving it a go.
I'm wondering what other dietary people find helpful????
