Re: These SE's are no JOKE!

Im so sorry you are having all these side effects. Ugh. As many treatments as you have gone through, I probably don't have any helpful suggestions you haven't already heard or tried, but... When I was on Taxotere I used a product called Ulcerease for those awful mouth sores. It helps as far as numbing everything and making you able to eat. Certainly doesn't help with the way everything tastes. It's about eight dollars a bottle, and its a mouth rinse. I also had a rash and took just basic Benadryl and that helped some. The first few days were the worst, as with most. Big hugs to you and lots of prayers that these side effects lessen and you are able to feel more like yourself.
