Hello all...
I am taking care of my sister during her chemo and radiation. She has now developed thrush and is on nystatin. She is just beginning to have hoarsness of her throat and the doc's have told her to only whisper. We are working diligently on keeping her from talking out loud. I've read how serious the thrush can become. The doctor just casually told her she needed to take her medicine. She didn't realize the importance, and because the pharmacy did not have it for two days ... just let it go. I have sent her a copy of the article on the site about the dangers of Thrush.

Also the scars on her neck and arm from the surgeries look so bad, and she complains they are tight. She is applying aloe vera gel, and some vitamin E ... are there any other products she can use on her scaring ?

We are hanging in there. Tomorrow is chemo and radiation again. No hair loss yet. Skin blotching bothers her.

Tomorrow they will also shave her scar and get off the rough edges, etc.

Wishing you all the best.
Betty
