Hi Vanityfair, 

I am so sorry to hear you have been suffering all these side effects following your second round of chemotherapy. We have in-depth information on our website on side effects of chemotherapy which you might be interested in reading. The page mentions that when you start chemotherapy you should be given a number for a 24 hour advice line so make sure you contact them if you have side effects that are troubling you. See if you can talk to your medical team about these and mention how much you are struggling and if there is any medication they could prescribe to help you cope with some of the side effects like the sore throat and mouth. I hope that they can offer some good suggestions and advice to help you get through treatment with minimal discomfort. 

As it happens, I just came across dejavu22 's recent active thread with the title Impact of chemo where other members like ProfBaw and Geeker  are discussing chemotherapy side effects - don't hesitate to post your own experience on that thread and hopefully you will get talking to others who have been in a similar place with chemotherapy side effects.

I hope that things improve for you quickly and you can talk to your medical team about this and find some solutions to help you feel a little better. Our nurse helpline is also open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to ring them on this free number 0808 800 4040 if there is anything you would like to talk through with them. 

Best wishes and best of luck for the rest of your treatment,
