Triple Negative Breast Cancer/Grade 3

Hey Sue, I am still finding it difficult to navigate around this site, I've only now come across what you had written to my comment on your blog. Re docetaxol, I had some pretty traumatic mouth issues which still makes me shiver when I think about it. No matter how much I rinsed my mouth out, I kept developing oral thrush which they treated with nilstat. It completely freaked me out and I felt dirty, which was silly because it was nothing I was doing. Then when my taste buds disappeared, I developed some sort of psychological problem. Even though I knew what I was eating, because I could not taste it, I imagined all sorts of terrible things were in my mouth! A psychologist helped me through that. One funny story though, I was in the emergency department on night and they gave me dinner, I struggled but managed to eat it, then my husband asked where the sugar was for my cup of tea, I pointed to it and he said that was the salt! I had eaten meat and veges with sugar sprinkled all over it:) The doctor remarked 'you're not kidding about the taste buds, are you?' Anyway, that was me. Some of the ladies on here had no trouble with Docetaxol. Let me know how you go, big hugs to you,
