The mouth sores are starting to be a real problem for me. I got a really really bad one on the lower jaw between the teeth and the lip. This makes eating an apple or anything where you have to bite off a piece a real nightmare. Even laughing right now is really painful. It doesn't really hurt, more annoying, when I don't open my mouth or smile. But when I do.. on a scale 1-10.. I would say its a 12.
Today my hair on my head started to hurt when I touch it or wear a hat. It's not very painful, about 4 out of 10. This would be time when my hair should start falling out.. about 2-3 weeks after first chemo.
Lynda, my friend's (Justin) mom, mentioned about the scalp hurting before the hair falls out... I guess this is it. I will start looking for funny and cool haircuts I can try before I shave it all off.
I've also been in contact with CancerCare - a really great organization that offers free rides to the hospital for chemo and other appointments. They also connect cancer patients and their families together, so that newly diagnosed can learn tips and ticks that will make life easier.
Also I contacted WellSpring - also amazing organization that helps you file all the necessary paperwork to get financial assistance from the government. They are in regular contact with the government staff.. and are able to make your application process a lot faster.
I am very happy that I live in Canada, and would not trade out healthcare for any other in the world. I never expected so much support from different organizations and government.

Ask your Dr. for the swish and spit mouth rinse for the sores. It's called PMS-Benzydamine. It's a pain reliever. And a swish and spit rinse called Nystatin for fungus or yeast infections of the mouth. They work great.
ReplyDeleteyou could try a canker sore cream from a pharmacy, it doesn't heal, but it relieves the pain for some
ReplyDeleteI don't like Canada at all...cold...socialist...
ReplyDeleteI like America...here, if we get sick we live our life full for the sort-rest of the time we have... we rather die in a capitalistic country with no treatment (like a pig) rather than living in a socialist country where you have the misfortune of having world class treatments.....its not that we envy you, we just don't like Canada....cold, and on the other hand we don't even believe in global warming and so many things.... well, we NOW have birth control contraceptives in 'don't believe' list added just recently..... Its a wonderful journey backward 200 years....its a "want to hate anyone in Canada' feeling if you are wondering.....not ENVY at all....
You look great......(bold and beautiful)..........Get well soon......we will have to get back to trading.......not the same without 100% of you.......//KN
