My hair has started to thin out my eyelashes as well as brows
Oncologist says only 1 in 3 lose their hair completely the others just thin out so hoping it just thins
But if i lose it again i lose it not much i can do about that.
But what counts is I am out of bed.

When I was doing one of the chemo drugs, I kept getting nosebleeds too, and a sore throat for weeks. ENT said the chemo dried out my nose and throat really bad. Not a lot you can do, but he said to do extra humidity in the house, try and get it to 80%. We have a whole house humidifier, but added one to the bedroom and the family room, and a small little one that sits on my desk, plugs into the USB port. He also recommended a saline gel for me to put in my nose several times a day (moisturizes longer/better than spray), and to use Vaseline at night - just put a little on a qtip and apply to inside of nostril. The plus with that is that it is thick and kind of keeps your nose from bleeding as much, so you can get some sleep. I kept waking up with blood on my pillow from a nosebleed every time I managed to sleep. It also dried out my mouth and caused gum problems (receding gums, bleeding, etc) but I didn't realize that was a problem til too late. So buy all that junk for dry mouth and use it before it gets really bad like mine. Unfortunately, I am now in advanced state of gum disease, even though I'm finally off the chemo, it did a lot of damage.
Hope some of those help! I remember how miserable that was!

I agree with Sue my husband went though the same thing use saline spray like ocean or store brand keep sraying in your nose also please use mouth sprays to keep you mouth wet like Biotene( thats expensive so they have a store brand keep a spry next to your bed so when you wake up in middle of niteyou can spray it in your mouth keeps it wet
I know yyour strong there is light at the end of the tunnel so take one day at a time! 6|3|GOOD LUCK TONYA THINKING OF YOU|JOYHAPPYONE|DAIDOLA5@AOL.COM|14:52:04|03/01/2013|

7|4|Try ginger tea|fbutte|fyb33@yahoo.com|17:19:47|03/01/2013|
Many dr.s are giving to chemo patients. Take a chunk of about 1 cubic inch of fresh ginger (much cheaper in oriental atores) simmer in BOUT quart of water for about 3-5 minutes. Add green tea or sweetner to taste. Drink it warm. Leave ginger in water. Refriferate remainder and micro wave it before drinking. The heat gets it into your blood faster. 8|1|POSITIVE THOUGHTS COMING YOUR WAY TONYA|Heyushell|heyushell@aol.com|19:52:19|03/01/2013|
