6 Day Week

My White Cells must be down a bit because the inside of my mouth is sore - the chemo kills healing cells as well as cancer cells and your mouth contains a lot of sharp objects and is prone to infection. Red Cells down a bit too - I can get VERY tired. My recovery weeks are only 6 days until I get onto a Monday start for the chemo so I'm guessing I'll really appreciate the extra day in mid March. Loads of E45 seems to be keeping my skin happy but tingling finger tips mean I can't click along when the choir sing Fever. I get dehydrated at night - last night I woke up and my eyelids were glued shut! Still no nausea or diarrhoea so it's nearly all good.

    i often take lysine as a supplement when i get cold sores - i also get sore inside of mouth and gums when this happens - it helps healing apparently - maybe worth checking out? tho not sure if anything like this is banned as it might affect the chemo in some way.
