Re: HELP please!! First time on taxotere
Adriana,
I too had terrible mouth sores so used the biotene paste and mouthwash and also a conditioning gel just before bed. I also religiously gargled with bicarb wash 4 times a day and once on this routine didn't have any more mouth sores.
I also got terrbily depressed for 24 hours about 3 days post treatment - hubby used to wait for me to start crying!! Again must have been something to do with the taxotere as I wasn't as emotional on the FEC?
Good luck
Jenny x
