Re: Last chemo Delayed Again/Shirley

[Guest guest]

My onc told me to have mothwash at least 3 times a day with filtered water and

baking soda to avoid the mouth sores. So far so good. I didn't have any problems

in this regard. As for rectal fissure (my problem) and burning that followed

every chemo, specially the taxol ones, I used baby cream to protect the area.

The first time was terrible, but then the others I could control. My last chemo

changed to Taxotere, but since I am having diahrrea, I decide to prevent and use

the cream.

Hang in there, it is the last one! I am very tired with this but it is the

last!!

I have tried the Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste, I have tried the

water and baking soda and my onc has gave me what the pharmacy labeled

" Stomatis Cocktail " , it completely numbs my mouth and throat (it has

benydryl and 2 other things in it (don't remember the names) and she

gave me a precription called Famvir (an anti-viral medicine to prevent

cold sores. Nothing has worked so far. As far as my rectum my DH has

bought ever over the counter oinment and cream he could find and my

onc has gave me 3 different precriptions and I still ended up with the

Perianal Abscess that required surgery. My onc said she hasn't seen

two many people who's body is as stubborn as mine in responding to

meds. The bright side to this whole nightmare is that their is a

light at the end of the tunnel! Just one more A/C treatment to go.

So sorry Shirley to hear about your problems and anyone else you has

know of anybody else due to having maybe some sympotms of breast

cancer mets to the brain. I have to have one tomorrow and I hope and

pray I do not. If you have or know of anyone would you please send

me the info on the symptoms and treatment. Thank you so much. Take

Hi Sharon,

I'm sorry to hear you need an MRI. I hope it comes out negative.

I had an MRI years ago, but it was to check for a congenital brain aneurysm.

I heard of someone who had brain mets. I think her symptoms were

dizziness and headaches. She had an operation and radiation, and while

doing the radiation counseled people with brain injuries.

Hope all turns out well for you.

Sharon F,

Good luck with your MRI - why are they doing this test? Are you noticing

anything different with your vision or headaches or is it just precautionary?

I had a PET/CAT Scan a couple of months back that covered head to toes.
