Hi All
Just had 2nd of 6 Taxols.
Think I’ve got a good range of normal side effects:
Hair loss (no big deal - got scarves, etc)
Bone weariness (well, I just sleep more)
Brain rather foggy (OH says no change there, then!)
Sore mouth and slightly swollen tongue (but nothing too alarming)
Peeling hands and feet (slapping on the prescribed cream)
But my worst problem is thrush - just about everywhere you can imagine and few you might not.
My onc seems reluctant to give me anything with Nystatin (which I’ve always found to be incredibly effective pre bc) in - is there a reason for this, does anyone know? I’ve got some other stuff to take orally and am using bicarb and Betadiene (at his suggestion) topically by the ton, but this seems to be resulting in little more than damage limitation,
Any and all Taxol-side-effect-specific tips gratefully received!
