LOVE the bumping going on here!

Thanks for the wonderful info. I have found that the cancer center where I get my chemo gives you a choice of popsicles or ice chips during Adriamycin administration to prevent mouth sores as a matter of course.

At home, I stocked up on popsicles, frozen fruit bars & lemon ice, to cool my mouth and hydrate.

Hey Khertenst & Nico. Sucking on popsicles and ice chips during chemo is a great idea.
But Using a chemical and alcohol free mouth rinse along with popsicles & ice chips can effectively help prevent and get relief from mouth sores, and even use of lemon drops or creamsavers can help promoting saliva production.
Try avoiding milk products as they may be difficult to digest and specially when u r suffering from nausea and vomiting.

If anyone knows where the thread "The road to hell" is, would you bump it?  someone mentioned it and I'm interested in reading it. 

Thanks, and what a great chemo list shopping list!  May I copy it and give it to a breast surgeon I know?  she is always looking for something like this to give her patients before she sends them to an onc.

Yes, THANK you for all the fantastic tips and for bumping.  I'm not sure how soon I'll start, but I know it'll be too soon.
