Thank you for your support on here , brought me great comfort. And to anybody going through this just know there is hope at the end of it all. Xx

www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com have started a blog as well find it helps me and saves me talking all the time xx

I know your pain, the mouth ulcers are just horrible , I had them all down my tongue on either side and under my tongue and in the roof and back of throat. Tepid salt water  rinsing helped with them and diphlam mouth rinse. Paracetamol won’t do much for you so the doctor might offer you cocodamol. For a long time I could only drink room temp water as I was experiencing the same as you are . It does get easier but keep up with pain medication and don’t be afraid to ask them for stronger medication. 

Hi Vatch

thank you have been drinking de caff green tea for tears will look fir Chinese though. Yep room tem is the way forward just hard on a 90 min drive to Leeds was desperate when we got here. Sat in room having saline prior to chemotherapy after a sasted2 hours this motn8ng no one wanted to take the decision re change if chemotherapy to carbo platin so staying with cisplatin which us fine. But up since 0500 this morning looks like it will be 1930 before we leave today and back here for 0830 radiotherapy 

It’s a long day but week 4 has started
