Caelyx

Veronique, my hair has grown back while on Caelyx. Yes I have had a couple of mouth ulcers, but nothing that makes life unbearable. Sore feet - blisters - were also bearable although uncomfortable. Regular washing and creaming helped. Good luck

Thanks. What did you take for the mouth ulcers, if anything?

The recommendation is to brush regularly with a SOFT toothbrus and rinse with mouthwash. The dentist prescribed Difflam [ a mouthwash] the problem with a lot of mouthwashes is that it stains your teeth brow! The chemotherapy nurse gave me some Gelclair sachets they take the pain away. I also used Adult bonjela which stings like mad when you put it on but then numbs the site and seems to work. I reckon that it takes about ten days from start to finish when I get an ulcer. Good luck.
