I had antibiotics for three rounds while on chemo that weird.
And I had nystatin for a month as well.
I had this a lot too - gallons of water helped & staying on top of the nystatin. I know some people recommended bicarbonate soda in water as a mouth wash. X

Hi everyone, just catching up on the chats. Iāve had a rough few weeks.
I have 2 Paclitaxel left, then I get a few weeks break before my radiotherapy starts. Will be having my Herceptin injection every 3 weeks.
So far the cold cap has kept the majority of my hair so thatās a positive.
I am finding these last chemo sessions really difficult, itās like Iām so close to the finish but still so far away if that makes sense.
Had trouble finding a good vein last week and taking blood was hard too.
Think Iām just in a low spot at the moment, worried about ongoing treatment and the future.
Friends and family all brilliant but they donāt fully understand how I feel and of course how would they, only us going through it know what the journey is.
Sorry for the negative rant, just finding everything hard.
Hope you are all staying strong and well š©· love to you all xx

@erica no rant at all thatās what we are here for. Iām so pleased that the cold cap has allowed you to keep your hair 
.
I also have two Paclitaxel sessions left before moving on to RT. I completely sympathise with how you are feeling. These last few sessions do feel like a mountain. I guess we have been so focused on getting through the chemo that the reality of the situation is starting to creep in. I started to feel really low and worried about the future ever since finishing round 5. I find the fear of reoccurrence sometimes puts me in a really dark place. Iāve lost faith in my body because it tricked me to believe everything was fine so how do I now know when something is wrong. I find it hard to get my head around the fact that I am high risk, as determined by my oncotype score, but as there was no detection in the nodes, I donāt qualify for any scans to check for spread. Every time I have a pain I think it must have. I try and keep rationalising myself but it is hard. I am just hoping that these feeling get easier with time. I think I am going to try and get myself on the moving forward course when I finish and Iām hoping that provides me with some ways to cope when those dark thoughts creep in. On a nicer note, I did attend the ālook good feel betterā session yesterday and I can highly recommend as it definitely cheered me up no end. The ladies were amazing! I hope everyone is doing ok?
