Re: what to do about nosebleeds?
Its cold and dry, it's winter and you are getting treatment. But of course, you are having nosebleeds! You can of course tell your doctor, but I would just get some saline nasal spray at the pharmacy. I had to use it during my treatment when I started turning the heat on in winter. Also, use a humidifier.
