Well, after chemo number 7 (still have 11 more in front of me) the side-effects are getting more noticeable. Bleeding sores in my nose, my mouth (which makes talking and swallowing more difficult and painful) and sores all over my body as an allergic reaction to all the medications I get. For my mouth, I use a tincture with sage and just got a wonderful tincture from the oncology ward - it disinfects and anesthetizes my mouth. For my body I use diluted organic apple vinegar and dab it on. I smell like a summer salad, but it sure helps relieve the itch. And feeling tired and drowsy most of the time - which annoys me, there are so many things I want to paint or designs I want to create but lack the energy to do so.
