Re: what to do about nosebleeds?
Greetings: I appreciate your concern about nosebleeds. Mine were daily on Taxol and Herceptin, now, with just Herceptin, it is very dry, but with bleeds. I have used non-pertroleum based vaseline and/or olive oil on a q-tip (sounds weird, I know, but it worked). It's such a goofy side effect - but daily an irritating thing. Wishing you the best.
Jude
