Maryanne,

My nose bleed through most of chemo. Everytime I would blow my nose there was usually blood. I went through a boxes of tissues. Then when I had my last Taxotere, there was no more bleeding. It was weird.

If your nose is bleeding that badly sometimes nothing will stop it. All long time ago when we lived in Fort Worth, my husband was prone to nose bleeds, his bleed for over 2 hours and nothing would stop it. I had to take him to the emergency room, and they put a facial tampon (that is what they called it)up his nose and then he had to make an appointment with an ENT doctor to carterize the vessel that was broken. Of course it took two days to get the appointment. After that he carried around Afrin and tissues. The afrin helped stop the nose bleeds. He also used vaseline to moisted the area.

I stayed up to watch Greys and it was a rerun..argh. My husband hadn't seen that episode, so we still watched. He thought it was hysterical when the lady lived after her heart caught on fire.

Glad to hear you are feeling better, hang in there.
