Sore mouth

Welcome to part 2 of chemo side-effects: the sore mouth!!

By sore mouth, I don't mean I have lots of sores in my mouth. On the contrary, it seems to look rather normal. But it burns most of the time. It's most bizarre. I've been drinking a lot of water, which hurts at first but then helps. I also look forward to brushing my teeth, as it seems to make my mouth happy for about 10 minutes :) It limits food preference but I haven't been very hungry anyway so that's not a big deal. It's hard to explain really.... I think the cells in my mouth are adjusting to the chemicals in the chemo and are ultra sensitive. My mouth gets dry quickly and well just feels like it's burning.

Aside from this, I'm feeling better today. Very tired still but okay. I find I have hot flushes and feel a bit faint if I walk about too much. But I think this is also a combination of it being "that time of the month". It's nice the sun is shinning... I haven't been outside yet (mainly because I have no where to go) but I have my wig fitting tomorrow so that'll give me something to do. And hopefully when my boyfriend comes back at the weekend we can go to the beach or something. If it doesn't decide to rain by then ;)

I'm hoping maybe I will get a few days work soon to give me something to do. But it's difficult because I have to plan in advance and that isn't the easiest thing to do. Oh well. Got my holiday with the YCT in a few weeks :)
