Onc wasnʻt sure whether to proceed or can it the last AC cycle - fever, blood clots and unwellness all factors. Delayed the last cycle and with antibiotics and blood thinners plunged into the final cycle last week. Up to 3rd and final round of antibiotics.Today is Day 6 and although an improvement to yesterday - havenʻt bounced back as I had hoped.
Mouth/Tongue regime
Almost hourly brush teeth, and use bi-carb/salt mix to mouth wash, cleanse tongue and gargle
Biotene mouthwash and gel in between and as needed
@FLClover bought and using the Aloe Vera juice twice a day. Swirl it around in my mouth first and then swallow. I find it is offering some relief and keeping the nasty tongue sores at bay.
Nausea
Thatʻs still a battle. Using ginger and smaller sips of water, hydralyte, anything that isnʻt room temperature seems to be easier to consider. Food and fluid intake is not my best work this round - a constant feeling sick. Short walks or some sort of gentle physical movement takes the pressure of the sick feeling. Impacts on every other aspect of functionality and holding positivity.
No denying the transformation in mind, body, spirit, soul...will start Paclitaxel in a few weeks. I wonder how ʻmeʻ will respond to it? Frightening when you step back from a reality which appears to ʻyoursʻ and yet you are a total stranger to it.....
