I'm nine days into my first 14-day chemo cycle and still suffering no major debilitating side effects. Yay me! I'm still able to play tennis and do all my regular mom stuff. I don't feel 100 percent, and I'm pretty wiped out at the end of the day, but that I can handle.
The only real problem I'm having at this point is an outbreak of mouth sores -- ouch! It's painful to eat, drink and even -- gasp! -- talk. But I got myself some "magic mouthwash" from the pharmacy and it's helping a little bit. And I'll take mouth sores (we're talking a dozen or more) over most of the other side effects any day.
Keep those prayers coming. They are working. Love to all.

M: Praying for you, each day. F.
Thinking about you! Enjoy the break with your boys!!
Ouch, I hate mouth sores. I've been getting them on a pretty regular basis since I was a kid, like 1-2 every couple months, at least 2 bad ones a year on my tongue. Of course that's no 12 a day, but I empathize a little bit. One thing that helps is Lysine. You can get it at any pharmacy in the vitamins/natural tablets section. It contains an amino acid that's a building block for protein. Prevents and helps your mouth heal faster. Pretty cheap too, like 30 tablets for $7
