Re: Changes to my Navelbine & now side affects...

WomenofSteel, I always start my morning with two cups of tea & since the bc dx I quit using suger in my tea. But that is a great idea to use the lactulose in it. It is SO sweet...should work perfect. That's really a great idea...will try it tomorrow morning.

Rich, I about died laughing about your ER comment, and using the oncology floor. Maybe I'll request one of the chemo nurses to come in around 11:00 PM that same night for my Navy Beans. I'm sure once I explain why it's so important they will gladly agree to do this. I'll let you know how that goes? lol

Adriana, So your another one that had jaw pain with Navelbine. I'm finding out it's more common then I first thought. I love the licorice twisters idea. Black licorice is one of my favorites. What a great excuse for me to buy licorice....yummy. Thanks!
