My mouth is already tingling so I started the Nystatin. Maybe I can buy myself a couple more 'ok to good' days if I treat the mouth sores early. My oncologist and chemo nurses had opposing opinions on this so I'm going with the chemo nurses since I like their opinion better.
Thank you to the group of 'Steelville 1992' girls that had presents delivered to me during chemo! What a nice surprise. I've already used the fuzzy socks, magazine and pillow scent. The hard candy came in very handy during treatment! Without it, it feels as if I'm chewing on metal for 2.5 hours. Today I made a simple P B & J sandwich and it tasted like I was noshing on my TV remote.
A friend took this picture, and by the way it was taken after treatment #1 before any hair said goodbye. My doctor and nurses were surprised at the amount of hair I still have though- and even said I may not lose much more. It is all fried and dead, mind you.
Here's hoping I feel good for days to come, and to eventually regaining my taste buds! :)
Perfect picture.
