1 1/2 yrs ago I had ascites and when started abraxane had quick results from it. I drank LOTS of iced water every day, rinsed with Biotene mouthwash and used the water, salt and baking soda for mouth sores (it really works well but does taste awful). She could try eating soft foods including yogurt, cottage cheese, bread not toast. I puréed or cooked vegetables, soups etc. I had a childhood craving come back for cottage cheese and peaches that has happened twice now with treatment and disappears when done. Oh and nothing too hot to burn the mouth. My ascites left and I haven't had a problem since. Knock on wood. The abraxane is hard but I was able to tolerate it for over a year. She will fall into a routine for control of side effects and it becomes tolerable. You guys can do this. Good luck.
