Suggestion for the nose irritations: I had that problem. I thought it was from the chemo impacting the nose vessels causing the nose to bleed slightly, and also a little runny. It is a lot better now, but while I was having the problem which lasted over a month, I bought a nose wash (which looks like a little teapot and you use it to pour in one nostril and out the other). i would put a very diluted antiseptic mouthrinse (such as CrestPro Health, WITHOUT ALCOHOL) into the water. I also bought a nose spray to keep it moist and that helped a whole lot. My primary physican looked inside and saw some inflammation, so she recommended I use an antibiotic cream, applied with a q-tip, only at night.
I don't know which of the above helped the most, but the end result was significant improvement.
