Hi Chris,

Good idea on the magic mouthwash front. That can help numb the mouth to get some calories down. Sorry to hear that everything stings.

Do you have someone to drive you to treatments? You might be at a point where you may need to increase the frequency/dosage of the regular pain medication so that you can be more comfortable.

I tried to find a post I saw this weekend, I thought I read that there were several people here who used taxol w/ their chemo. Not all lost their hair. Is your hair coming out all over, or in spots? Dan lost hair in two spots from the radiation.
